Your civil rights are staunchly protected by federal law. No state or federal official or employee can legally deprive you of any “rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws… ”
Whether that person was employed by a sheriff’s department, police department, the highway patrol, a state prison or otherwise, they cannot violate rules in place to protect citizens.
You have a right to sue the appropriate governmental entity for monetary damages. This is intended to prevent such abuse and compensate you for any injuries or damages.
