At the time I lived in Newport Beach California. It was dark, about 9:30 pm and I was walking home from the store. It is a hilly residential neighborhood and I'm about a quarter mile from home when a police car past by me. I was a block from home when the same car came back and stopped me. The officer asked how old I was and where I lived. After I told him I was 17 he said "this is what I do to people that run from me" and he proceeded to frisk me. With my hands on the hood of the car he kicked my feet far apart and checked me for weapons. Then, still in the same position he unzipped my pants, put his hand down between me and my underware and ran the tips of his fingers across the bottom of my testicles. I was Scared to death I couldn't move. He then had me stand up and told me to go. I had always felt he was trying to get me to flinch so he could hit me. I never told anyone this untill about a year ago, I'm now 59 years old. Do I have a case, is there a statute a limitations?

There are no statute on limitations on police "stop and frisk" practices I am aware of. If you recall his name, I'd still file a grievance. But bear in mind that if you did not have a camera ready, Internal Affairs will dismiss it...
HOWEVER,
You don't know if, in doing so, yours makes the number that tops the list of complaints that will round off the pig. So, don't wait any longer!

Ther is a statute of limitations, the time is state by state...If you knew the person you could report them anyway..but what you have just done...Shared that pain and miscarriage of justice will take some of the power and pain away from that night...just by you talking about it...Go forward...Lennon

i think of you ought to permit the kinfolk know. this might reason matters yet interior the long-term it's going to be worth it. What in case you at the instant are not the only one he has accomplished or is doing something to? you will be waiting to dodge yet another undesirable concern. additionally in case you do no longer prefer to take it further in concerning the regulation. that's your selection, yet you probably can permit him know you undergo in ideas so he can a minimum of stay far flung from you.

The statue of limitations have long expired on this matter, and besides your story will have no credibility now with the lapse of so much time.

Have you reported it to the Police? They should be able to answer those questions for you.
