- Chicago attorney Julie Herrera will cover the basics of litigating a lawsuit against the police, including where and when to file, which legal claims to consider and pursue, discovery basics, responding to motions for summary judgment, and preparing for trial. A Q & A will follow the presentation.
Unfortunately, the system is disgustingly corrupt. I'm retired LE and fought corruption my whole career. Here i am in retirement doing it all over again. This time certain members of the bar association are acting like a cartel here in NM. They control the police and state agencies and they threaten, harass, and intimidate citizens; as well as steal their property without just compensation or any lawful cause. Of course, as soon as an attorney is willing to take my case, they get pulled off bc of who these bar cartel members are. So i'm going to do it myself. People have no idea how far gone this country is...
So since you’re knowledgeable about the police..can you please tell me is there anything that I can do for my brother. He was wrongfully incarcerated...during his incarceration he suffered Medical Malpractice and sustained irreversible damages. He’s diabetic and the medical care is nonexistent in prison. My brother is left blind from one eye. They delayed medical treatment knowing his condition. When they finally took him in for surgery they dilated his eyes then told him sign a waiver so they could proceed. That just makes my blood boil. He is deeply saddened and in disbelief that this is happened to him. He’s the only family I’ve got. I’ve examined his medical records and noticed they were modified. Modified by a doctor who has never provided my brother any care. I did some investigating and discovered that this doctor has been disciplined before by the Medical Board of California. My brother has fallen into deep depression. I can’t stand to see him hurting. He has a daughter that was taken from him by his ex-girlfriend a malignant narcissist.
I read about Tolling the Statute of Limitations. All experienced advice is welcome or if you can point me in the right direction. I’d truly appreciate it.
From California
They have always done that from what i gather the barr is designed in order to gate keep who can defend and protect peoples interests, primarily because a lawyer protecting their clients interests is almost last on a big list, with the state, the public, the barr and everyone but the client. I wonder why no one has really sued the bar? especially since they disbarr anyone who finds out and rights a book or tells people that certain laws they enforce aren't actualy legal so forth and so on or offers laws that stop certain things from happening..
Go after their insurance bonds...that's the ONLY way to get justice.
I do, and it makes me nauseas.
@@blossomjones3132 how do you do that?
The problem with the police is the GOOD ones DON'T call out the BAD ones which makes THEM twice as BAD!
Good police will always report on their brothers. Bad police will cover for their brothers. And sisters, but let's be real blue sisters want to be blue brothers.
Fact
Wouldn't want to lose benefits... Or donuts...
As type this I am under survellance. By me typing this I am sure I am putting myself in danger of a possible home invasion. I just wanted to thank u for all this information. I am an VET and was doing okay until my 17 year old son died in an operation that he did not have to have. I could not focus and was completely distraught. Individuals took advantage of that and began harrassing me at my home which continues to this day. The harrassment sent me down the rabbit hole and my PTSD came to the surface. They continue to poke at my PTSD and I have totally withdrawn from society. I really appreciate your information. Thank you.
I pray you overcome this and so very sorry for your loss of your son.
Thank you for your service, sir. My condolences on the loss of your son. May God wrap you in his arms & provide you the comfort & peace you need. God bless you sir.
I am right there with you my brother. I'm also VET/PTSD and at this time dealing with Zoning/Code enforcement who trespass my private property totally surrounded with privacy fence/wall. City of Jacksonville Florida is a corporation, Zoning/Code enforcement is a corporation and they say the Constitution does not apply to them. They send people to my property with full tack gear and automatic weapons. I need a lawer bad. On what planet can a corporation have jurisdiction over me and my property without my consent?
Good luck brother. It might help to look into equity and the commercial process, peaceful resolution (and forgiveness) is an excellent choice. For now, try to feel sorry for these guys that they are 'blindly' following orders without looking into their heart, dont help them harm you, avoid as much as you can.@@user-wv7gt3ip2i
Hope you are doing okay brothers. Everyone in here struggling please try to keep your heads up. PTSD and loss of loved ones is a pain most can not comprehend. Do not let these demons drag you down past the point of no return. There is still purpose in life even if you can not see it now. It's not easy but you are strong. I encourage all of you guys to keep moving and do everything you can each day even if that is just breathing. That is okay. Please honor your loss as best as you can. Those you've lost do not want this torment for you. They love you same as you love them even though they are lost to your eyes that love still lives on. I know it sounds corny but it's something, some times the only thing that has helped me carry on. There are people in this world that are not the evil that encompasses you. There are others in the same fight as you everyday, please stick around for them. Maybe you haven't met that lost soul yet but hold your head high and carry on because you never know when the day will come where there is another on the edge of the abyss you and only you can assist because you have been in the same place, that cold dark rabbit hole. That cauldron with fire that feels like hell itself on your soul is forging the gold you have to offer for another. Please push on brothers.
11 months ago I was arrested in my home for obstruction of justice when I was the one who called the police.
I watched this police officer open my front door and walk in with 3 other officers in tow.
I got a copy of the report sent to me and the arresting officer told his chief that he was fine with cutting me loose and writing a citation for obstruction but the cheif made the choice of taking me to jail because I declined to answer his questions after being arrested.
The case was recently dropped or dismissed "in the interest of justice"
But the police here have absolutely no respect for the 4th amendment.
Tomorrow I go to the police department to retrieve the arrest footage to make a final decision as the weather the officer or officers acted willfully and wonton before I make file anything because I don't want to lose but I don't want the police to feel comfortable violating the rights of citizens.
Your the best teacher. I was tased in my own home while I was laying flat on my stomach with my hands raised after being slammed to the ground and the officers did not have a warrant. Thank you
@Neal Vanderstelt Tell me u got or had a lawyer.
Cops broke out a window in my brothers house to arrest me without a warrant they shot me with pepperballs they yelled get down I got down I didn't resist an after I was laying face down in broken glass and in cuffs 1 asshole cop put his boot on my head an shoved my face in the broken glass. All cuz 2 karens called 911 an lied they told them i pushed an elderly woman and then barricaded myself on her property and that I looked to be on drugs. Cops wouldn't listen to me. They came deep af too the whole squad was there about 12 of them. I knew someone said sum serious lies to get a response like that so I was in fear I didn't know what was said or what was going on. When I got shot I thought it was real bullets that hit my chest I thought I was gonna die. Good news is that I never accepted a plea bargain an im glad I didn't cuz my 2 accusers finally came clean and admitted they made it all up that they lied to the police to get me in trouble an get me arrested when I did nothing wrong. My wife didn't believe I was innocent despite my best efforts to convince her it wasn't true an served me divorce papers shortly after. Lost my job she kicked me outta the house. It's been a rough couple years. Corona came just after this happened too so I thought it couldn't get worse but it did. What a crazy couple years indeed
@Neal Vanderstelt you shouldn't have hit them. That's an assault on a police officer, & you definitely shouldn't have ran from them. Police will tase you and deservatively so.
@@Americanwoman74 regardless of Neal’s story, there’s endless examples of cops going through adrenaline withdrawals and victimizing the public to get their fix. These meatheads with their brotherhood first code they live by, are a scourge on this country and our Constitution.
I am permently damaged from two officers beating me in my yard cause I refused to I.D. my self. Another case dragged on 2 yrs 10 months for I refused to consent and sign, victimless crime, it was for 2 plants growing in God's earth. Now I'm in court again for a cheap radio playing during the day, no victim, bitchy neighbor and prosecutor made criminal complaint, police for witness, no due process and already kidnapped me and jailed me, alleged I didn't show for court when I was never served.
There was a time I could have sued for a cop pushing multiple times then slamming me . I had never been in trouble in my life and was a 50 yo female but only ppl with money can hire a civil rights attorney but we all need one!!
It is absolutely insane when we have law enforcement officers with authority to use deadly force when they are not even required to know the law while on our streets enforcing the law with deadly force.
And even worse most police officers are breaking the law every single day by enforcing policies that are designed to break the laws by violating our guaranteed protected constitutional human rights with no limits and no accountability.
28 USC 241, 242 color of law removes Law Enforcement and any acting agent of the government ,Municipality, etc.. protections due to ignorance of the law . Holds them liable for civil damages and at worst can be used to order A Judgment of death.
Police personnel does not have authority to intentionally commit federal laws. There is no living creature on this planet who is above the law.
I don't understand the US, in order to be a " law enforcement," do they not have to know the law first hand ? Also, you're so write, they break the law by writing false police report after a false arrest.
What if your court appointed Attorney refuses to withdraw since they have submitted motion for psychological examination to make me seem unfit mentally and another without a defendants approval after 9 months in the case. Being blocked from a lot of information so it would help. Thanks.
Can you sue in state AND federal, concurrently, or simultaneously?
Got my answer at 1:04:30.
No attorney will take my case in Texas, it’s like they are scared
I live in Texas and I've been hurting for 3 months, Thank You for the information and details,I have contacted many litigators in my central Texas areas and no one wants to help.
you muat help yourself. Sad I know
Thank you so much ~ I am being targeted by Law Enforcement following a divorce from an ex-husband that poisoned me with Arsenic and they refused to investigate the Criminal Case? I have Video's on CZcams under Katie Kidman where I have been harassed and targeted repeatedly. I wish I had an Attorney to defend me - none in this tight community.😌
I understand your plight. I must hire a private investigator for the same reason, I have been informed that a Premediated home invasion is probable. I have had my privacy violated and much mored for a very long time. It is very scary to live under the threat of home invasion and illegal survellance. My computer and other devices have been compromised. It has been years and it has taken a heavy toll emotionally, mentally and physically.
Great teacher. She speaks in terms where non lawyers like me can understand and learn
I’m blessed to have ran across your CZcams it has helped me greatly my son who is a first responder got railroad by an office who lied in a declaration and the DA knew it in fact his defense attorney knew it to but failed to inform his client luckily we know how to protect ourselves from injustice through documents, audios and investigations. I would like to contribute to you continuing work for justice of the people let me know how I can help you in any way. Stay blessed my friend
You can pull that officer Bond, this will take him or her off duties. Ask if that office has his FARA of 1938 with him , if they do not have one they are operating out the international Law, that officer must be taking off dutiies. That Law
Thank you for sharing and doing what you do! I am now a law student (a later bloomer) but back in 2016-2017 I was falsely arrested, humiliated in public, chastised, handcuffed, driven to the local jail and cuffed to a bench for hours while my pleas to use a restroom were ignored. They sat me beside drunken and violent men, which is illegal as I am a female. Finally, they provided me with a UA that proved the cause for arrest was false (officer told me I was on meth, that my eyes didn't lie... when really I pulled over to sleep in my car briefly while on my 1.5hour commute home from work that night because I was falling asleep behind the wheel. I was trying to be safe.) He found me ASLEEP! How did he assume I was on meth? I had seizures at age 18 which left me with some brain damage, so one pupil doesn't dilate like the other. He ran with that and the fact at that time I was quite thin from being over worked and in a bad relationship and I am heavily tattooed. I think he simply judged my appearance and not my competence or behavior. If I was a grandma, or something...that wouldn't have happened. The police department didn't respond to any of my complaints so I dropped it but this still haunts me and causes me severe anxiety when pulled over by police.
You know what to put your the body cam of that arrest was actually published on CZcams not within about the last 6 months.
I was sleeping in my car as well, I was waiting for the Community Center to open, to take a shower and Go to my job interview
NEVER go tot he police thinking to get redress. They will NEVER help you or punish the officer.
I’m surprised you tube lets you maintain this channel with all this truth and explanation of how to traverse the courts.
IF A PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN ARRESTED ---
DON'T THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT WHEN THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ARRESTED?
You have the right to remain silent at any time when your arrested and when your not. When they ask you a question....Your response should be .( I dont answer questions ) and say nothing more. If they continue to ask you........... ( You ask theme what crime have i committed ) and keep asking until your blue in the face.....
U always have the right to remain silent. The distinction arises when courts decide whether what is "said" can be used in court or will be suppressed.
@@mangomaniac4194 If what you say is suppressed, but DOES incriminate you otherwise, police will conduct a parallel investigation to find other evidence to help convict you, and why not, you didn't keep your damn mouth shut!
Always! Further if I have the right to remain silent I to therefore surely also have the right TO NOT REMAIN SILENT!
@@abelinolopez2585 by saying "I do not answer questions." after being asked a question is actually IN FACT thee act of answering a question!
This Lady is spot on! She knows her Law.
Any civil rights attorney, like this in the east coast?
West Virginia civil rights attorney
She's Appears to be honest no matter her job title... also she's letting you know how you can pursue the officers or municipalities for unlawful detention. So we all need understanding of governing our own affairs and there is nothing wrong with knowledge building from others so you can have your claims processed and since I like structure I wrote down and studied key facts she presented as well as sending out notices to this states officials letting it be known that I rescind any unlawful contracts while also creating complaint to invoke Equity seeing how we can make our own money like one knows if he or she can make people then it's also agreed that each of us can speak, write, read and produce honest correct data that supports the claims of violations these Bankers aka lawyers also sworn into oaths falsely attack or target you I say this because I was once a victim so I thought being taught to hire ppl to speak for me but never really getting freedom trust me your salvation is not in their offers its in Tort claim or by Equity. I'm sure this also has a great deal with us all using postal zone codes aka UPU codes that try and give others/litigators jurisdiction over us. Never the less you can create valuable points from her videos so we should see the value within each other rather than choosing lack of over standing of our own individual affairs enclosing I'm grateful for all who shares knowledge 🙌 no matter our different paths peace and love all Queen Haras of the 100 Kings and Queens.
🙏
very informative thank you. always film the police for your safety ..
Thank you for making videos like this . Knowledge is power . Also the reference of questioning authority isn’t a popular topic on legal webinars. I’m hoping for your opinion on “ BEST PRACTICE “
Thank you for all the people you helped
Thank you for sharing and educating the public
If one wanted to file a claim against an Officer on their own what forms need to be printed out to fill out and file?
I had my rights violated Saturday at walmart I am contacting civil rights litigation attorneys today a couple is going to call me back after lunch I do have a excellent case
ABOLISH QUALIFIED IMMUNITY ALL IMMUNITY and stop them from investigating themselves and being over the video/body cam footage and being able to lie to us and being able to resign 🙏💯😇we need to be able to sue for mistakes also
The Doctor can kill you if you’re over 18 & no one can sue but wife& kids.. they make laws to keep them safe not you
We can go put a claim on their professional bond or insurance policy. They all have to have one.
You can put a Lien on the Cops bond that violated your Constitutional Rights, and take their Pension money
@@MrsShanonBrown Does it work and if so how do you obtain those documents?
There is no qualified immunity. Title 18 U.S.C. Section 242. The right wing humans and parties attempt to claim this non sense in which is a false statement.
Excellent educational video! I will use these principles. Thanks for sharing 👍 🙏
I was injured in a paddy wagon while cuffed to the front I have a broken wrist currently in a cast had surgery the officer decided to go 50 mph driving and hit breaks causing the other inmate to fall on top of me I'm really hurt
One of the most informative presentations that I have witnessed - much thanks Julie !
I had my civil rights violated by lapd and the few lawyers I have reached out to weren't interested in taking my case so I'm going to file a suit by myself. I look forward to learning more about how to go about it from watching this video even though you're not in Los Angeles, I hope the same steps apply here. Thanks 🙏
Thank you so very much for all you do and have done 👍
This was great! Thank you!!🙏🏾
Thank you for the explanation.
Wow, So glad to have found this page, I wish I could find a lady like her in Colorado, the police ran me in my house, due to a false report. held my children at gun point, fell on my six month old grandaughter in her car seat, which we got on recording, smashed her, slammed me and said i had a warrant, 45 minutes to find out it was for traffic, I was booked for about two hours and released on a PR bond, well i got evicted behind that as well smh, i was later picked up a month later for that same day they took me to jail and charged me and 5 children that that they held at gun point with a felony menacing case...HOW, They dragged this case for over a year, dropped it to a lesser charge, and SEALED the felony menacing of where they ran me in my house...Then March of 2023, the police pulled me over for no front plate, called about 10 officers because i was scared to roll the window all the way down, they busted out my window, towed my car, took me to jail on a warrant they claim i had for the same case they SEALED....SMH, My car was in trust, i showed proof they still auctioned off my car. Internal affairs, Electronic Monitoring is all in on the corruption, i have made complaint after complaint, one of the Chiefs told me since i lived in Georgia for 12 years without being harassed by the police i should just move back there. I filed a Tort Claim with the attorney General, it was denied. then on November 25, 2023 what looked like was swat and the animal control came and removed my support animals from my home stating they got a anonymous call which was NOT. (this one gets deep) The SEARCH WARRANT was not valid, my pets has been in the animal shelter since. the saddest thing of it all, it all started when i started speaking my right. 4 years of hell, since the pandemic. No injured party, no fist thrown, just clearly speaking my rights lawfully. I also got a force masking case and had a mask on. its so much and dont let me add my children, we are under attack! who can refer me to someone Like this lady that handles cases in colorado, please and thank you.
great lecture
Hi, Julie! Awesome vid.. do you have anyone you can recommend in Porkland Whoregone? I'm dying from the state-run racket.
I have been listening and it sounds like we are at the mercy of the courts.
My daughter was arrested for contempt of court during a court appearance. Since that time, she has been denied appearances in court, even by zoom.
You have to really screw up to get a contempt of court charge.
Upload the courtroom video.
It should be hilarious.
Thanks for the information
This video is great
I have a very good case I’m in the process now
I need your help on filing a stay until criminal proceedings are done
It's funny how they don't want you taking pictures but they already have your picture and fingerprints even our babies for those who don't file a UCC 1
Thanks for this!
I am wondering what can be done when a person's rights are being violated pre-trial and when the officers of the court are excused in performing due process.
How do you remain silent during booking process of jail? I was left in booking 5 days before cause I wouldn't answer the booking questions.
Thank you
Very informative presentation
thankyou for the time .
Blessings. I was falsely arrested and physically abused by the police. They wrote a false police report which can be proven, and they did a complete do over of video evidence to justify the false arrest. I'd like a video expert to help me and an attorney to help me with that lawsuit. Thank you
Dear Ms. Herrera ,
This is one of the better explanations I have listened to. However , Ii I were ever be in a situation I would not no what to do. The whole judicial process is incredibly confusing.
Is our process broken?
Awesome yes thxxx so much...
Thank you for the information you are presenting here.
This should be mandatory primary education
As a layperson, this was very informative. I'm curious what the business side of this is. Do all the plantiffs pay out of pocket? Non profits fund it? Lawyers do it out of the goodness of their hearts? Like you said many of the plaintiffs are poor, so how is this getting funded?
Most lawyers that will take these cases on do so with pay based on percentage of the outcome. Generally 30-40%.. My lawyer is 35%.
The victim already knows they're never going to get enough to cover the damages and it takes forever to get any kind of justice.
that was great. thank you
You are an absolute queen and true family member to the black community I love you
Informative!
What if the hospital gives your blood information without warrant or arrest?
What if the Sheriff department locks you in solitary 3 days without a phone call or getting booked?

Equal protection? 1. Like police having a business account with one spouse but not contacting the other spouse regarding abuse?
2. And or one sided police reports in favor of the spouse with business account?

From what several people like casually know and from my own experience there's an Illinois statute that you can go to and then just send a letter with the reference to that statute to the attorney general and trust me the AG is going to come down on their ass pretty hard you won't have to take it to court won't have to sue them they're going to provide you the information.

In my opinion, if my friend were able to file an effective lawsuit, it may be likely that the county would want to settle out of court - how often do you see this happening? Many very logical suggestions and informative matter beautifully presented! - much thanks Julie ! - It is so impressive to see a very beautiful woman express herself in such a simple, effective and beautiful way !
It's not about your rights being violated, it's about someone stepping out of their jurisdiction.

Thank you for this information. I’m a Pro Se Litigate in the California Eastern District Court. I’ve tried to obtain counsel, how, keep hearing no or get no call back. My complaint is Eighth Amendment violations and I have approximately 9 or 10 defendants. Is there anyone out there that will be a legal civil consultant. I will not hold you responsible for the outcome, I just need certain answers I have answered and my documents reviewed. For example is a Pro Se Plaintiff responsible to pay for their deposition they intend or does the court pay? What if plaintiff doesn’t have the amount of money, does they lose out on that part of discovery?

I have a bachelor's degree in business administration and I will have a law degree in four years to practice Civil Rights, Liberties, Property and Employment Rights globally on a contingency basis only. University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 3008.
on 4-8-22 i entered the downtown Denver Court House, there for official court business, my lawyer waiting for my arrival in courtroom.
i chose to allow my cam era to film my movement and the immediate publicly viewable common areas. After over three minutes of enjoyed videotaping, a cop approached and with a 100% asshole attitude sneered his assinine directives around and -assuming id bow to his unlawful orders- he tried bullying me, intimidating "let's go!" he fussed. i had already decided to ignore anything he said, no crime being commited. i ended surrounded by 6 cops in a public building, carrying out a 1st amendment constitutionally protected daily general activity. i ended up arrested for trespassing- (without the "owner" of the building's aurhorization or actual request, nor was i ever told what "crime" i supposedly had commited that constituted my physically being grabbed and drug out of the public building by 5 cops, to be then released and told i couldnt go to court in their building anymore. i WENT BACK IN and i absolutely told them i would. this time however, i was NOT filming.. at the doorway the idiots actually arrested me then. i missed court, a days pay at my job, i was locked in an isolation box for over ten straight hours with no water, no shoes, no needed and requested medical help...
my processing for my PR bond could have helped release me properly and i could have worked that day. but the cops refused to even begin processing me until it was explained that i was being punished for knowing and using my rights, when i am aware that I am supposed to do anything at all that a cop asks, immediately. my rights are under police officers issuance. i warned all of them of violating my rights. they laughed at me, ridiculed me, then illegally arrested me, locked me in that ice box for ten+ hours, where i suffered.. . cops randomly came past my door to threaten and harass me. my feet have medical lifts prescribed by a doctor, which one cop refused to give back...
i was released on bond almost 24 hours later because of officer abuse. i strongly feel my 1st, 2nd and other amendment rights were blatantly violated in a public court huilding, - not in any actual courtrooms mind you. would you offer me any help or direction or advice, please? i know i have grounds to sue these bully cops. ineed guidance to a proper attorney who can help me...
What ever came of this? I had almost the exact same thing happen to me.
Can you sue if the officer retaliates and writes you citations because you exercise your right to remain silent? Does this violate the 5th amendment?
My thumb was broken during my arrest. All charges dismissed. I'm ready to proceed
What are your thoughts on terry vs. Ohio and should it be overturned?
I'm curious if you've ever been able to defend any Illinois cases for First Amendment auditors as we call ourselves. There are at least two citizens I know in Illinois citizen journalists that I know of them it's certainly use a lawyer such as yourself who practices in Illinois.
so did she ever answer?
Thank you Illinois needs thousands of Auditors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have called over Georgia to find a civil right lawyer and they say they have to work with the police so they want take the case. So I have to do it myself from listening to you I'm praying I got this I even brought body cams because of these back woods police You go to the mayor about them he laughs in your face 😔
Call ACLU! Also you can call civil rights lawyer in other counties or states! Many will take case pro Bono!
I can't get a doctor in town to even look at me as they are state funded!
Thank you, Ms. Herrera..Can you refer a group in Texas that can help me???
I am beginning to understand a bit more, how a well-educated and effective lawyer is well deserving excellent pay. I have studied the life of, perhaps the best lawyer in our nation -John Adams - like many other greats - he was a very, very well read - he loved his books! I heartily recommend - John Adams - Party of one - James Grant. Also I have found - Team of Rivals -The Political Genius of Abe Lincoln - an equally excellent biography !!!
Can I still file the civil rights violation complaint after the case resulted in no discovery. No one informed me of what no discovery means.
I was shot twice in my chest by a state trooper AFTER being handcuffed…in my driveway. I tried to escape and he shot me. I went to prison for 30 months and now I’m being sued by one of the officers. I only live a few hours from you if you wanna pick this up. (Webster co., KY)
wtf? I hope you've found someone to help you with that.
