Q: The Town has violated my civil rights with thir community policing how do i proceed?
I currently live in Tucson where I have recently been the victim of their "community policing". Yesterday it was brought to my attention that there was an article in the local paper how the police and local citizens are stalking those they consider active criminals. i can provide proof of their actions against me, how do i proceed?
A: In this type of situation you generally have to demonstrate that the police have violated a statute or constitution. A notice of claim must be filed, with the city that you seek to take action against, within 180 days of the incident, according to ARS 12-821.01. Since the question was asked in September of 2012, that time period has expired.
