How to Handle Police Misconduct in Georgia
If you encounter a police officer using excessive force, violating your rights, or engaging in other kinds of misconduct, you should take the following steps:
- Immediately obtain medical care.
- Document everything, particularly your injuries.
- Take photos as evidence of your condition.
- Call the Atlanta police misconduct lawyers at Van Sant Law right away.
- Identify any eyewitnesses and document their full names and contact information.
Unfortunately, victims of police abuse or brutality are often incarcerated before they can take action against the misconduct. If you are arrested, you are entitled to speak to an attorney. You should let your lawyer know about the misconduct as soon as possible.
