Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
I hate to be a spoilsport, but have you ever heard of anyone winning one of these suits? The only instances I know of, involve conduct so egregious it's obvious that the plaintiff will win, such as a prison guard handing a razorblade to a suicidal inmate. Suing under title 18 for clear violations of constitutional rights (such as being deprived the right to a trial by jury) will always be dismissed by the courts.
They will get away with exactly how much we allow them to get away with.
Obviously you will have a harder or easier time winning a suit depending on the corruption level in your county. You can affect this by running for office and diluting the corruption % by the amount of integrity you bring to the table.
Thanks for what you're doing. Everyone should be trying to file lawsuits against government officials when they infringe on their rights, no matter how hard they try to make it for us.
Do you know about filing suits at common law? Most lawsuits these days are based off of some sort of statute that was passed in recent times but suits under the common law date back to before the founding of this country and are enshrined in the 7th amendment
In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved
Have you ever wondered why, when you file some lawsuits, your supposed right to a trial by jury is not always preserved? How is it possible that you can go into court, claim you have a right to a trial by jury under the 7th amendment, and the judge can tell you to shut your mouth and not say that again or you'll be held in contempt of court?
The answer is you're not involved in a suit at common law. What is a suit at common law? It is only those causes of action that existed in the year that the constitution was ratified (1789). In otherwords, if you couldn't sue for it in 1789, it's not a suit "at common law" and your "right" to a trial by jury is a privilege that depends on something other than the 7th amendment (such as court rulings or legislation). If you ever file a suit under title 18 and your right to a trial by jury is not respected, this is likely the reason why.

If you don't want to run for office or be among the first to file suit, you can still easily help by doing a simple thing. Pass along knowledge of the above, as well as USC Title 18 Section 241 (conspiracy of two or more officials attempting to deprive you of your rights under color of law, which carries significantly enhanced penalties).
That's all I'm doing. Hope it helps all of us.
