Frequently Asked Questions

A violation occurs when a government official, such as a Midwest City police officer or Oklahoma County deputy, violates your constitutional rights. Common examples include excessive force, false arrest, and illegal search and seizure.
Individuals can sue for constitutional violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. These cases are complex and require bypassing 'Qualified Immunity' through strategic litigation and high-authority legal research.
Document everything immediately—badge numbers, names, and a detailed log of the event. Record video if possible. Do NOT give statements to internal affairs without legal counsel. Contact a civil rights attorney immediately.
Deadline for § 1983 claims is generally two years. However, certain state law claims (like those under the OK Governmental Tort Claims Act) have much shorter notice requirements. Consultation is vital.
While some proceed in Oklahoma County District Court, most civil rights lawsuits are litigated in federal court. For Midwest City residents, this means the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma in OKC.
