Constitutional Rights Violation Defense

Summary

If you are facing trial for obstructing a sidewalk in Las Vegas and believe your constitutional rights under the 8th and 14th Amendments were violated, it is important to understand your legal options. The 8th Amendment protects against excessive bail and cruel punishment, while the 14th Amendment ensures equal protection and due process. If you feel targeted due to homelessness, consider discussing your case with a local attorney who can provide guidance on defending against profiling and discrimination.
