Types Of Police Misconduct
Police misconduct can take on a variety of different forms, but the universal factor in all of them is that police officers abuse their authority and the public’s trust. Some of the most common forms of police misconduct include:
-
Use of excessive force, especially during an arrest
-
Beating someone who is being interrogated
-
False arrest and unlawful detention
-
Assault by police officers
-
Uncalled-for use of a Taser
-
Profiling of any kind, especially racial profiling
-
Improper stop and frisk
-
Illegal search and seizure
-
Stops made without probable cause just to meet a quota
