The United States Constitution and other state and federal laws provide certain protections to citizens from the use of unlawful and excessive force by law enforcement. These laws also provide us protection from oppressive and unreasonable governmental searches and seizures of our persons and our homes. When these fundamental rights are violated, the law provides legal recourse against such misconduct.
