You people should google 42USC 1983.

I know around here, they seem to violate it on a regular basis. It seems to me they have a standard rate of 20K per day spent locked up on one of these cases. Most of the cases around here involving depriving someone of their rights under color of authority, have the awards are sealed.

This is law that dates back to the time right after the war of northern aggression, when people in the south were harassing blacks. It's pretty cut and dried.
