I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Crystal. Could you please provide more specific details about how you believe your rights are being violated? This will help me to give you more accurate legal information.
When i was pulled over in my ex's car this last time i was pulled over by three sepereate police departemtns from * different towns. my ex and i are allowed to be with eachother if its for the sake of our sons medical reasons. so the tribal cop who pulled me over knew who i was and knew whose car i was driving. that seems excessive fr that many cops to pull me over for a light being out above the license plate
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Crystal. In Washington, multiple agencies can respond if they believe a situation warrants it. However, if you feel it was excessive, you can:
- File a complaint with the respective police departments
- Consult with a local attorney for advice
- File a civil rights complaint if you believe your rights were violated.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience, Crystal. As per the Washington State law:
- You have the right to be informed of the reason for your arrest.
- Solitary confinement should not be used arbitrarily.
- You have the right to adequate nutrition in jail.
If you believe these rights were violated, consider filing a complaint with the jail or consult an attorney.
