Which of the following is NOT a method for suing a police officer?

The correct answer is that criminal charges are not a method for suing a police officer. In civil law, suing generally involves seeking monetary damages or specific relief from a court, which is distinct from criminal law. Criminal charges refer to the prosecution of an individual by the state for violating criminal statutes. This process does not involve the collection of damages or the pursuit of civil rights claims; rather, it is aimed at punishing unlawful behavior and can result in penalties such as fines or imprisonment, but not monetary compensation to an injured party.

On the other hand, intentional torts, negligence, and constitutional infringement are all valid avenues through which one might pursue a civil lawsuit against a police officer. Intentional torts arise from deliberate actions harming another person, while negligence involves a breach of duty leading to unintentional harm. Claims of constitutional rights infringement typically stem from violations of rights protected by federal and state constitutions, such as excessive force or unlawful search and seizure. These methods focus on obtaining compensation or rectification for harm suffered due to the officer's actions.
