Q: I was robbed by the police, harassed illegally evicted, what can I do? What laws or cfrs can help me recover/ prosecute

A: If you were robbed by the police, harassed, and illegally evicted, you have several legal options to consider to seek justice and recovery. First, document all the incidents in detail, including dates, locations, the names or badge numbers of officers involved, and any witnesses. Keep all correspondence and evidence of the illegal eviction and harassment, as this will be crucial in building your case.

You may want to file a complaint with the internal affairs division of the police department or the civilian review board in your area. Reporting the misconduct to federal agencies like the FBI or the Department of Justice can also be effective if your rights were violated under federal law. Additionally, you can pursue civil litigation for damages caused by these actions, including financial losses, emotional distress, and any physical harm. The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), particularly Title 42, Section 1983, allows you to sue for civil rights violations by government officials.

Consider reaching out to a legal aid organization or an attorney experienced in civil rights, police misconduct, or housing law to explore your options further. You may also qualify for assistance through advocacy groups that focus on police accountability and tenant rights. Acting quickly and gathering as much evidence as possible will strengthen your position as you seek to hold the responsible parties accountable.
