Two local attorneys filed a lawsuit against 2 cops, David Rock and Donnie Kee. They were accused of violating their 17-year old client's civil rights when they pulled him out of a vehicle, handcuffed him, patted him down and placed him in the back of a squad car. The lawsuit states that the fourth amendment, right to be free from unreasonable searches and his eighth amendment, right to be free from cruel and unusual punishmen were violated.
When I first read this article, I didn't think anything of it. I guess its all the television I watch or something. Is this however, a violation of the kid's rights? The attorneys state that the officers had "no valid reason to detain him." Even though this type of violation of rights occurs often, it is taken lightly. It seems that the police have taken the attitude that these violations are not that serious and deserve to lose this lawsuit.

Well I belive that people just try to get money off of anything these days and that this trial should be dropped too. If we do these kind of things to our police officers every time they do something a little "off the book" our cops would be scared to do anything. Things like this the judge should just throw out i mean if we sew the whole police force what protection will we have absolutly none.
