Claims against the police in England include civil causes such as assault and battery, false imprisonment, negligence, misfeasance in public office and malicious prosecution, and Human Rights Act 1998 breaches arising from stop‑and‑search, arrest, custody, use of force or data mishandling. A solicitor collects and preserves body‑worn camera footage, custody records, police notebooks, witness statements and medical reports; applies for disclosure and interim remedies in the County Court or High Court; makes complaints to the Independent Office for Police Conduct or to a chief constable; and represents clients in civil hearings and coronial inquests. Public‑law judicial review and data protection claims often run alongside tortious causes of action or settlement negotiations.
