    Default Legal Rights After a Constitutional Violation By The Police

    Federal Question:

    Say a Police Officer violates your constitution rights and you file a civil complaint. Information shows that the authorities can have the civil case “frozen” pending their investigative outcome. If the complaint is not civil and is filed with the Department of Justice for the actual civil rights violation, does the government still have a right to “freeze” the investigation or claim investigative immunity, or can the government "freeze" a complaint regarding violation of an individual's civil rights. I’ve always presumed that would be a further violation of one’s civil rights.




    Links would be greatly appreciated for further research

    Here's the U.S. Code. Here's the Constitution. For more than that, add some details to your question.

    Thanks for the links. I have reviewed those but still unable to locate anything related to my question, therefore, I will rephrase the question.

    Based upon the posted scenario:


    Is a citizen’s right to file a grievance against a government official assured and/or protected by the constitution or law of the land?


    If yes, by what authority is that right protected?
