Forum Post: Why are people not suing the police and pointing out the violations of the contitution in court??

All across the country people's 1st amendment rights are being flagrantly violated on bullshit excuses like silly little municipal curfew laws or not having a "permit" to peacefully assemble.

Just tonight I am watching occupy Chicago get evicted by the police, with a huge number of arrests. Last night Occupy Cincinatti was attacked, with dozens of arrests.

When people get arrested they are not always being released in a couple hours as they were in the mass arrests on the bridge in NYC (in almost all cases those people were still charged and had to/have to defend themselves in court though! I wonder if they jailed anyone?)

In both of the above most recent cases you may not even have heard the news. This has become so mundane it doesn't even get acknowledged on the blogs in many cases.

Yet there is no mention anywhere about the defenses in court and how they are going. Or attempts to sue the police for violating people's rights under the constitution.
