Where does one find a prosecutor and a judge who will administer these laws?

They are out there. I see some 18 U.S.C. lawsuits that succeed.

Pretty rare though.

Depends a lot on the state in which one resides. At the federal level, however, not in this administration.

There is though, a procedure in the federal courts for bringing suit for civil rights violations, and the attorney handling such cases can get 1.5 times their usual fee. For attorneys who charge $395-$495 an hour, not uncommon for those who practice in the federal courts, that can itself get a plaintiff the services of an attorney otherwise not available, and the *treasure pot* fees provide a nice secondary punishment for the losing defendant.

Nice summary of # 1983 procedures and limitations *here*.
