Illegal Detention And Seizure

Summary

If you were stopped and detained by the NYPD without probable cause, you may have grounds for claims such as unlawful detention, violation of Miranda rights, and unlawful seizure of your vehicle. To proceed, document all details of the incident, file a complaint with the NYPD, and consider a civil rights lawsuit. For Miranda rights violations, a motion to suppress statements can be filed. To recover your vehicle, file a petition in small claims court. A notarized bill of sale can serve as proof of ownership, but additional documents like the vehicle title and registration are recommended. Consulting with a lawyer or seeking assistance from organizations like the New York Civil Liberties Union can provide further guidance.
