- Police Misconduct: Violations occur when law enforcement officers engage in excessive force, false arrests, racial profiling, or other abuses of power.
- Unfair Housing Practices: This can involve discriminatory practices in selling, renting, or providing loans for housing based on the protected attributes of an individual.
- Infringement of Free Speech: This includes cases where the government or other entities unlawfully restrict an individual's right to express their ideas and opinions.
- Denial of Due Process: This occurs when the government denies an individual a fair trial or other constitutional rights.
