Answer to Question 1

Plaintiffs can sue individual state officers in two types of cases: state tort lawsuits and federal U.S. Civil Rights Act lawsuits.

A state tort lawsuit is brought to recover monetary damages for injuries caused by officials' civil wrongs against the plaintiff. Examples of such civil wrongs are assault, false arrest, trespass, and breaking and entering.

A federal U.S. Civil Rights Act lawsuit is brought under Title 42,  1983 of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 . This allows a plaintiff to go into federal court to sue state law enforcement agencies and individual law enforcement officers for violating the plaintiff's federal constitutional rights.
