In this situation, you may have a civil rights violation but you should see a lawyer in your locale to fully discuss your situation.
The laws that protect citizens against government misconduct are commonly called civil rights laws. A violation of a clearly established constitutional right under color of law gives rise to a Section 1983 civil rights lawsuit. In this situation, you may have a civil rights violation but you should see a lawyer in your locale to fully discuss your situation.
