Scottsdale Police
Harrasment unnecessary force wrongful arrest & imprisonment

My girlfriend of ten years was being harrassed by a Scottsdale Police officer. He was accusing her of urinating in public. She repeatedly told him that she had not urinated, and he continued to badger her for over five minutes. He asked what she does for a living, and she replied that she is a kindergarten teacher. He began insulting her professionalism as a teacher with statements like, "Do you teach your kindergarten students to lie?"

He had her in tears. I finally spoke up in her defense. His partner told me to go across the street. I refused to leave her. The officer grabbed my arm and started twisting it. The other two officers at the site rushed at me. They tackled me to the pavement, shoved my face in the asphalt, and arrested me. One of the officers broke his ankle in the fall, and is trying to sue me for the injury. They charged me with two felonys, and laced the police report with lies to make their case. All I can do is spend thousands in attorney's fees to fight the accusations.

I've found four others with highly similar experiences just in the last couple of months. This police department is abusing the power given to them by the citizens. I know there are others out there who have had similar experiences, and I would like to find them. If you have or know of somebody who has, call me at 602-989-2469.
