It is illegal for a government official acting in their official capacity to intentionally mistreat someone, unlawfully arrest or search them, or intentionally deny them their legal rights when the official knows the conduct is illegal. This covers abuse of police or official power. Violation is a Class E felony punishable by 1-6 years in prison and up to $3,000 in fines, and charges must be brought by indictment rather than informal complaint.
