Wanted to make a complaint and was denied I am livid I did absolutely nothing but right thing they showed up only to assult me please help
A: Your priority should be contesting the criminal charges. Then you can think about a lawsuit, but you should be aware it is often very difficult to successfully sue a government entity.
