Bane Act

The Bane Act, under California Civil Code § 52.1, provides a powerful legal remedy for individuals whose constitutional or statutory rights have been interfered with through threats, intimidation, or coercion. This includes violations of rights such as freedom from excessive force, unlawful arrest, or discriminatory treatment. Unlike some other civil rights statutes, the Bane Act specifically targets the oppressive conduct itself, making it a vital tool for holding individuals and institutions accountable for civil rights abuses in California.
