Do I have a case

[rckstr]

I recently entered a building through a back door that wasn't locked and came upon 4 security guards who proceeded to tackle me put me face down onto the ground had my hands behind my back with handcuffs on and a knee in my back and one of the security guards said "lite him up" pulled out his taser and tased me asking my about a laptop that was stolen from the building. The they then began in ask my questions again and said if I didnt coaporate that they would tase me again and they kept saying " lite him up" I felt the taser in my back but after the first time they tased me they didn't do it again. They sheriffs took a report and pictures of my back and I went to jail. I was wondering if I have a case with this. I don't care about they money I just want justice. It was 4 to 1 and I know I wasn't a threat to them. So any help would be nice.

Your story is missing a lot of facts. . .

Yep ... there would seem to be a LOT of info missing. I doubt they just decided to beat the stuffing out of the first guy they saw in the halls.

So, if you are not willing to post the REAL details, then I suggest you consult an attorney to see if you have grounds for a lawsuit for excessive force against the security officers. Of course, such a lawsuit won't help you with any criminal case they have against you, but if you get a settlement it might pay for your legal fees.

It doesn't sound fishy... but I would be concerned with whether or not he was already handcuffed when they tased him, and definitely concerned about the continued threats to tase after cuffed. There might be something to work with, if that info is true, but much of the story is missing.
