Mr. Steering’s many years of experience in suing the police can help you maximize your chances of actually winning your Police Misconduct Civil Rights case. THE CYPRESS POLICE DEPARTMENT IS A BRUTAL AND DISHONEST POLICE AGENCY. Because of landmark United States Supreme Court cases since 1989, police agencies, such as the Cypress police Department, have been becoming more and more brutal with each passing day. In 1989 the United States Supreme Court took away from federal juries, and delegated the right to determine what level and type of force is “reasonable” to the police, in Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989). In that case, the Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution allows the police to use that level and type of force that the reasonable police officer in the abstract would use under the circumstances. Thereafter, the use of SWAT teams for routine felony arrests has become common and an acceptable police practice. This is no joke. Today’s police officers take no risks at all. That’s why the police stood by while 19 school children in Uvalde, Texas were murdered; because the police did not want to confront the gunman for fear of their personal saftey. Thereafter, these days rather than send a police officer into a home or a business to make an arrest of someone for whom they have an arrest warrant and who refuses to exit the building, they use bulldozers or a new device called a “robot” to literally tear down the walls of the home until there is nothing left of the home to hide inside of. Incredibly, in recent years, the California Supreme Court has upheld the destruction of businesses and private homes Customer Co. v. City of Sacramento, 10 Cal. 4th 368 (1995). Because the police in America are alone left with the right to decide what level and type of force is permitted under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, police agencies have become more and more brutal with each passing day. Moreover, if the police come up with some new device or new way to beat, torture or otherwise use what may be obviously excessive / unreasonable force upon civilians, under the doctrine of Qualified Immunity, until some appellate court in their jurisdiction holds that that particular level of use of force violates the Fourth Amendment, even if the federal judge determines that your constitutional rights were violated, the police still win the lawsuit.
