I'd like to sleep with Jessica Alba. And win the lottery. Oh, and own a football team. Guess who has a more realistic chance at achieving our goals, me or you.
Answer: me.

You need to be a little more specific than "violating constitutional rights". If you want to file your suit pro se you need to give the state notice that you intend to sue it, and that has its own statute of limitations (at least in NYS). Also, there may be a specific court in which you have to file your claim, so you need to do a lot of research. (In NYS you can only sue the state in the Court of Claims) You are going to need to "state a claim, upon which relief can be granted", or your claim will be dismissed summarily. Plus, you can't just sue the state because you feel like it, because of a little thing called "sovereign immunity". Look it up.
A better idea for you would be to contact your state Division of Human Rights, for a start

Get a life. You want to sue the whole state for violating your "constitutional rights"? How were you violated?

If you have plenty of documented evidence you wont have trouble finding a lawyer. If it's just your word against them you lose.
If you try to be your own lawyer you will find the system doesn't provide you with any information on the proper procedure. You will lose on technicalities.
The jails are full of people who think their rights were violated.
If you got busted and are now free let it go.

There are probably are attorneys who will take your case...go to the bar association, find out the names of attorneys who are licensed in your state but do not live there....or research some of the cases which have been executed already similiar to yours and find out thenames of attorneys on these cases....contact them...!!!!

You can file a complaint in the United States federal court. I think you're in the 4th circuit. Do it yourself, it will be awesome!!!
