On my classmate blog Revolution, Evolution, or Revelation, the article “Cops, Criminals, and Lobsters”. Michael Armatino asked the question: “What happens when you are the individual accused of a crime by an officer and labeled a criminal and wrongfully arrested?” As I know , if you have been wrongfully arrested you may be entitled to compensation for the damage. You may need to sue for false imprisonment, excessive force. The citizens of the U.S. Are protected from wrongful arrest by the fourth and fourteen amendments to the Constitution. The fourth amendment states that, “No warrants shall issues, but upon probable cause, suspected by oath or affirmation.” The fourteen amendments state that: “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
I think Michael make a good point that not only the police or justice is sometime fail on their job but also there are gaps in between our judicial system and law enforcement officials and that's very issue in the comments of how we are going to fix it. The more we trusted the laws, the more we disappointed.
