Liability for Injury During Arrest

Questioner

Who can be held liable for injuries sustained by an arrestee during an arrest?

Lawyer

In principle, law enforcement officers may use force during arrests if the suspect resists. However, that force must be proportionate. You can try to hold the investigating officers involved liable, but in many cases this will not lead to anything. You will have to start by filing a complaint against the police's actions. http://www.politie.nl/melden/klachtformulier.html
