How do I start a 14th amendment claim

Q: I was in my friends house and police came in and locked us up for trust passing 14 mouths later charges where dropped how do I start the civil suite

A: David's Answer: As you presumably missed the 90-day deadline for filing a "notice of claim," your state claims are likely moot at this point. Thus, you may proceed in federal court on your federal claim of false arrest, which generally has a 3-year statute of limitations. You can file the complaint on your own, but its advisable to have an attorney represent you. - David Bliven, Bronx Civil Rights Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
