Holding Power Accountable

Tracking police and government abuse of power — by state, county, city, and department.

The Constitutional Stakes

The amendments most often at stake when law enforcement and government officials cross the line.

AMENDMENT I

“Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The right to record police and speak out against government abuse.

AMENDMENT IV

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.”

Directly at stake in Flock camera and surveillance misuse.

AMENDMENT V

“No person shall…be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

Due process protections against arbitrary government action.

AMENDMENT VIII

“Excessive bail shall not be required…nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

The constitutional line against excessive force and punishment.

AMENDMENT XIV

“Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny…the equal protection of the laws.”

The basis for most civil rights claims against law enforcement.
