Actually, if you have a decent claim (under existing law) that your civil rights have been violated by the government, you will have no problem getting an attorney to represent you on a contingency fee basis in a suit against the government.

The more difficult problem is getting a free defense in a criminal prosecution. Now THAT might be a good subject for insurance.

That's kind of like what Shield Mutual has been doing.

Obviously this has never happened to you. Actually, it's extremely difficult to find a lawyer who is willing to sue cops and / or the government. Most want nothing to do with these types of cases.

I founded Shield Mutual and work on it daily. We're the agora's first defense agency. Our mission is to defend our customers from state aggression using, not armed patrols, but crowdsourced public relations, proactive leadership, digital fundraising, legal aid and the force of truth. We have around 50 customers so far but have been doing pro bono work since 2008. Let me know if you have any questions.
