Fighting Police Misconduct in Los Angeles: How Steering Law Demands Justice

Police misconduct is a serious violation of civil rights that continues to plague communities across Los Angeles. Recent cases under investigation by the California Department of Justice reveal troubling patterns of excessive force, unlawful arrests, and systemic abuses—all issues that Steering Law has successfully challenged for victims time and again. If you or someone you know has suffered from police brutality, false imprisonment, or other misconduct, you need a law firm with a proven track record of holding law enforcement accountable. 

The California DOJ’s current investigations highlight several disturbing trends in law enforcement behavior. These include officers using excessive force in situations where de-escalation was possible, making false arrests based on fabricated evidence, failing to intervene when colleagues commit misconduct, and engaging in racial profiling. These are not isolated incidents, but rather symptoms of deeper systemic issues within some Los Angeles law enforcement agencies. 

At Steering Law, we have the expertise and determination to fight for victims of police abuse. Our deep knowledge of civil rights laws, including 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and California’s Bane Act, allows us to hold officers accountable for constitutional violations. We know how to overcome the challenges of police transparency, securing crucial evidence like bodycam footage, internal affairs reports, and witness testimonies that others might miss. Our track record includes securing settlements for victims of excessive force, overturning wrongful convictions based on police misconduct, and even forcing policy changes within law enforcement agencies. 

Consider how we would handle cases similar to those currently under investigation. For an unjustified shooting by an LAPD officer, we would obtain and analyze bodycam footage while consulting use-of-force experts to prove protocol violations. In cases where deputies are accused of evidence tampering, we subpoena internal communications and training records to challenge the officer’s credibility. When we see patterns of racial profiling, we use statistical data to prove discriminatory policing and push for systemic reforms. 

Time is critical in these cases due to strict statutes of limitations. Steering Law offers free, confidential consultations to evaluate your case and explain your legal options. We know how to investigate police wrongdoing even when departments try to cover it up, and we fight for maximum compensation including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. More importantly, we hold both individual officers and entire departments accountable, pushing for the systemic change needed to prevent future abuses.  If you’ve experienced or witnessed police misconduct in Los Angeles, don’t wait to protect your rights.
