My question involves police conduct in the State of: Iowa
How can I get help with constitional rights violations in Iowa by police.
For a disabled person, this is what happened:
On 4/05/2010 Two police officers came to my place of residents. I answered
my door, and was asked if I was Kevin Pitts to which I replied "yes". One
of the officers then stated that there was a warrant for my arrest due to
an unpaid fine. At this time I stated that I was unaware of any unpaid
fines that I owed. I was never shown the warrant.Both officers then barged
into my home, told me to put on my shoes, and then escorted me outside of
my home and then proceeded to search and handcuffed me.I was placed into
the patrol car, which at this time one of the officers pulled something
from the glove compartment and stated that I was being arrested for
writing a bad check. I was never given the opportunity to see this paper,
nor during this time was I given my Miranda rights. Both of these things
are a violation of my fifth amendment rights. I was taken to the county
jail where I was released on a cash bond. When I asked for attorney, I was
told the charges were not severe enough to have a attorney.
I do not know how to get help with this.
