When The Police Have The Wrong Guy
If the Philadelphia Police arrest or detain the wrong person, does it automatically give rise to a civil rights lawsuit? Definitely not. Nevertheless, here's an interesting article about one of our civil rights cases that was published yesterday in the Philadelphia Inquirer, where the police officers involved pushed the envelope of what's acceptable in the apprehension of a suspect. In this case the officers involved had no probable cause for the arrest, and we believe the evidence will be quite clear on that point. The link to the article is as follows:
