Police Misconduct Roadblocks
There are many police misconduct roadblocks that make it difficult to hold cops accountable for their actions.
Internal Affairs Divisions are filled with cops who are reluctant to punish fellow cops.
Civilian Review Boards make recommendations that are non-binding.
Police unions and collective bargaining agreements protect cops from being held accountable. These agreements also prevent misconduct from being made public.
Poor oversight allows cops to escape accountability. To make matters worse, courts have traditionally provided cops with protection from some civil lawsuits.
Police misconduct refers to illegal, unethical or inappropriate action taken by cops. It could involve a violation of an individual’s Federal constitutional rights, New York State Law or police department rules and/or regulations.
