Can I file a lawsuit for civil rights violation?

Vicksburg, MS Viewed 41 times. Posted about 1 month ago in Civil Rights

About a year ago the police came to my house and executed a search warrant for my vehicle. There was no signed affidavit and the warrant was supposed to be executed in another county. As a result of the search the police happened upon money that belonged to me, but they took it and gave it to a store that was said to have been robbed. By law wasn't there supposed to be a signed affidavit and isn't a warrant supposed to be executed at the place described on the warrant. Isn't this a direct violation of my civil rights to be protected from illegal search and seizure, and consequently, do I have grounds to file a lawsuit against the police department or the city?

Some of the state law componants of your case have short notice requirements. Therefore, the fact that this is a year ago is troubling. Also, you are a year closer to the expiration of the statute of limitations. The question of whether you have a valid sustainable claim for your injuries caused by civil rights violations can only be answered by an attorney in your jurisdiction who has some experience in these types of cases.

Nearly all personal injuy attorneys will provide an initial consultation for free and so I urge you to waste no more time, but to find an attorney to speak with.

It's a clear violation of your right not to mention theft. Some law enforcers do these kind of dirty work and abuse their power like they are above the law. I suggest you consult a Civil Rights Attorney and discuss your complaint. The longer you wait the lesser your complaint be relevant.
