Q. Officer made antisemitic comment during police interaction in Tustin, CA. Do I have a case?

March 11, 2025

A: Make sure you prepare a chronological statement of what happened. Include all the details you can. You want to say what happened, where, how, when and why. Identify all the parties by name if you can, and if you have officer's badge numbers that would be beneficial. Retain all documentation you have or can obtain which relates to the incident.

You may want to make a report to the Tustin City Council and express your outrage and demand action. You might also contact the ACLU, as well as AJF legal support.

What happened to you is outrageous and cannot be tolerated. Take all the action you can under the circumstances.

If you incur any out-of-pocket expenses for medical or mental healthcare related to this matter, make sure you keep good records of all such treatment, including the providers. Keep all receipts for medical or mental healthcare you receive as a result of this incident. It appears to me to be a blatant civil rights violation, which begs redress.

Time is of the essence, so do not delay in taking appropriate action. ... Read More

Q. Legal steps for injury caused by sheriff during incident with witnesses.

March 11, 2025

A: Find yourself a good civil rights lawyer. If you need assistance, you can go to the Orange County Bar Association website and visit their lawyers referral service. There are many good lawyers who handle civil rights cases in Orange County, all you need to do is a little searching and you will find the best available. Don't delay, because time is of the essence in cases of this nature.

Prepare a chronology of the events while they are fresh in your mind. Keep all the documents and things which support your case, and make a couple sets of copies of those, one for yourself and one for your attorney. Make sure you keep all the originals.

Good luck to you.

Q. Discovered hidden tracking device on e-bike; seeking legal action for unauthorized surveillance in CA.

March 6, 2025

A: What you are describing is a civil action, so it is not surprising that the police would take no action on your behalf. The police are charged with enforcing the criminal laws, not the civil laws. To protect your rights, you should find a civil rights lawyer in your area. Unlawful surveillance such as you described is an invasion of privacy. Any good attorney who practices in this field will evaluate the nature and extent of any out-of-pocket damages you have experienced as a direct result of this unlawful surveillance. That is usually one of the measures of damages that lawyers look for when they decide which cases they will take.

One thing you could do is file an unlawful harassment claim against the individual who placed the tracking device on your personal property. Self-help forms are available at the court's website here: https://courts.ca.gov/rules-forms/find-your-court-forms. ... Read More
