in the state of louisiana does a person have the right to file criminal/assualt charges on an bailbondsman? this person was handcuffed and lying on his stomach when the bailbondsman football kicked him in the face while a state trooper was holding him down in cuffs?
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: United States State (if USA): Louisiana Already Tried: trying to press charges but being told he could not press them and wont allow him to press these charges.
In Louisiana, you have a right to present the case to the DA and it is the DA's ultimate discretion as to whether or not they will file charges against the bondsman. We have had the charged with battery in Orleans Parish, but some DA's will not pursue cases against a bounty hunter picking someone up on a bounty. You can file civil suit against the bondsman for any injury he has received and for pain and suffering.

he was not on a bond but was being arrested for criminal damages on property. it just so happened to be a bondsman property. when the officer was called it was then he was arrested for charges of criminal damages. the bondsman was just mad.
I am sorry that you think it is poor service when you added facts not previously disclosed. With the previously undisclosed facts, it is even more likely that the DA would consider charges against the bondsman since he was not working in his legal capacity he was acting in a personal matter and kicking him while handcuffed is a battery and you could also make a complaint against the LSP who was holding him down and you have to file that complaint in Baton Rouge with their Internal Affairs Division.PaulMJD41132.8376722222
