A:
You and your brother deserve to have your rights protected, and it sounds like what happened to you both was not handled properly. Being detained without probable cause and having officers enter your apartment without identifying themselves can be a serious violation of your constitutional rights. It's important to seek legal help to address the unlawful detention and harassment.
You may want to look for legal representation that understands how to handle cases involving unlawful searches, detentions, and violations of civil rights. A lawyer can help you gather the facts, review the actions of law enforcement, and determine what legal steps you can take moving forward.
Your rights and your brother's rights should not be infringed upon because of a mistaken identity. Legal guidance can ensure that what happened is fully addressed, and any possible remedies are pursued to prevent this from happening again.
