Yes, you can find out if your rights were potentially violated by a police officer in a Pennsylvania borough by seeking legal advice from a local attorney who specializes in civil rights or police misconduct cases. They can review your situation and determine if there are grounds to pursue legal action. Additionally, you can file a complaint with the local police department's internal affairs division or contact the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for assistance.
Civil rights are the rights of individuals to receive equal treatment and protection under the law. For example, "The civil rights movement in the United States fought to secure equal rights and opportunities for all individuals regardless of their race."
First, Your civil rights (if you're meaning constitutional) can't be violated by a private company. The constitution only protects you from the government. If a government agency violated your rights you, but preferably an attorney, can file a claim in federal court. Some organizations like the ACLU will offer services for free. Other attorneys will want payment up front, a part of the judgment (or in most cases the settlement), or will offer their serves pro bono.
Some of the facts about the suspension of constitutional rights in the US during the US Civil War was limited powers that were weakened further by the Bill of Rights.

While the Civil Rights Movement took place decades ago, many people have their rights violated everyday. In some situations, the violation could include harassment or even loss of employment. If you feel that your rights have been violated, and want to pursue a legal case against the violator, you should hire a civil rights attorney. While a civil rights attorney can be expensive, there are many benefits to having one on your side during the legal proceedings. The first reason why you should hire a civil rights attorney if you feel that your civil rights have been violated is because the attorney will often give you a free consultation about your situation. A civil rights attorney will sit with you to discuss exactly what happened to you, and how it may have violated your civil rights. If they attorney feels that your rights have been violated, they will also discuss the following steps that could be followed if you want to pursue a lawsuit or settlement, and how you could stand to benefit if everything in the case works out in your favor. They will also discuss any negative repercussions that could come with pursuing the case. The second reason why you should hire a civil rights attorney is because the attorney will contact the person or organization that you felt violated your civil rights, and begin a settlement process. This process can often take a lot of time, and constant deliberation between your attorney and the violator's attorney. Often times it will require you to meet with the violators to discuss the situation and how you felt your civil rights were violated. While some civil rights attorneys may take the case pro bono, or work for a percentage of the settlement, others will charge you an upfront fee to begin the process, plus an hourly fee for the amount of time they work on your case. The third reason why you should hire a civil rights attorney is that they will defend you in court. If your case cannot be settled out of court, the next step would be to sue the violator in a civil court. This process can be extremely time consuming and expensive if the attorney requires hourly billing. However, having the attorney on your side to prepare and present your case will give you a much better chance of winning the case.
For many, their civil rights were ignored and violated. They were imprisoned, lost property, lost jobs, were not permitted to vote, etc.
