Bad Cop Held Accountable

Client and his brother were shopping at a store when he was assaulted and battered by an unknown party and his girlfriend. The store clerk called the police. The Police arrived and erroneously assumed that Client was the assailant instead of the victim. A Police Officer rushed and accosted client in a threatening and menacing manner. The officer got into Client’s face, vociferously yelled at him and pointed his finger into his face attempting to provoke Client into a fight so as to arrest him. Client pleaded with officer, “Stop Harassing Me.” Officer retorted, “You Haven’t Seen Harassment Yet!” The officer then handcuffed and detained Client until he realized that Client was the victim and not the assailant. He then released client.
Client retained the Madrid Law Firm. The Madrid Law Firm filed a lawsuit against the City, police department and individual officers alleging State and Federal Constitutional and excessive force violations. Upon service of the lawsuit, the City contacted the Madrid Law Firm and settled the case. No One is Above The Law.
