local cops harassing nightclub patrons What is the name of your state?
Florida. Need any kind of federal law protecting nightclub owners from police harassment with explicit intent to put owner out of business. Have documented proof including videos, affidavits of patrons, etc. Any advice or web sites leading to case law much appreciated.

Like ... what are they doing?

There is no law or case law I know of that says the police cannot wait in the area of a bar to stop people with sufficient cause. And I really doubt the police are saying they are laying in wait to pull people over without cause (thus, illegally) just to put a bar out of business.

It IS perfectly lawful to conduct aggressive enforcement at a problem nightspot. There are limits, but it would take a lot.
