Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Puerto Rico

state and municipality inmunity adn self served local law

How can anyone win a case if they claim being protected by art 6 ley 104 29 junio 1999 and art 15.003, 15.005 Ley 81 30 agosto 1991, assuming being a valid defense.

There is a law limiting a complaint to 75K$ maximum claim, how could it be?

Are such articles unconstitutional? or how can they be refuted.

Due to the large number of violations and police officers involved, i dont want to sue the officers... only the state and the municipality, how can it be done?

Every year since 1998 until 2004 state and municipal policie officers have violated constitutional rights, mainly multiple illegal (11?) arrests and confiscating property, such asd vehicle by entering private property without judicial orders.

Cases which officers managed to ''bring'' to the courts have been dismissed from the very begining (regla 6) or the plaintiff have been declared NO GUILTY.

I am very concerned as the damages have been in the serveral millions, plaintiff has been busines person for many years even providing services to FEDERAL agencies in the past. Now out of business due to the damages.

Officers, Secretary of justice nor Mayor respond to multiple claim letters.

Damages prevented plaintiff to follow up.
