U.S. law enforcement officers and other officials like judges,
prosecutors, and security guards have been given tremendous
power by local, state, and federal government agencies—
authority they must have to enforce the law and ensure justice
in our country. These powers include the authority to detain
and arrest suspects, to search and seize property, to bring
criminal charges, to make rulings in court, and to use deadly
force in certain situations.
Preventing abuse of this authority, however, is equally necessary
to the health of our nation’s democracy. That’s why it’s a federal
crime for anyone acting under “color of law” willfully to deprive
or conspire to deprive a person of a right protected by the
Constitution or U.S. law. “Color of law” simply means that the
person is using authority given to him or her by a local, state,
or federal government agency.
The FBI is the lead federal agency for investigating color of law
abuses, which include acts carried out by government officials
operating both within and beyond the limits of their lawful authority.
Off-duty conduct may be covered if the perpetrator asserted his
or her official status in some way.
