Lawsuits are frequently filed by citizens
against the City. Many of these cases involve claims
brought against Police and Corrections Officers for alleged
mistreatment, violation of constitutional rights, unlawful search
and seizure, and so on. Occasionally there will be a
class-action case filed against the City by a group of citizens.
One such case is the pending Buck, et al., vs.
City of Albuquerque, et al., case. This is a federal court
civil rights case brought by ACLU attorneys on behalf of people
claiming violation of their civil rights and damages resulting from
Police misconduct during an anti-war demonstration.
