Question: My son was hit by a police vehicle while trying to elude, on foot. After knocking him down, excessive force, including the use of a taser, was used. They would not carry him to the ER following this incident. His "crime"? An invalid tag. Well, now there are Several charges against him. I feel like the use of the patrol car was the same as a deadly weapon & I'm just wondering what recourse we might have in this matter.

Answer: You can sue the police. Of course, you first have to locate an attorney to take the case, which will probably mean paying him money, because this is not a contingency case. Second, you have to hope that your son does not land in prison,because a jury is NOT likely to give anything to a convicted person.
