CouLD i Sue? falsely arrested, detectives hid evidence that would have thrown out case. Malicious Prosecution?

Question

I was arrested and withheld my rights by talking to detectives about incident which I was totally clueless about. Sent to jail for 15 hours, stripsearched and charged with 10 counts of posession of a forged instument 2nd. Was told they had "probable cause" because my picture (drivers liscence pic from 8 years ago) in a photopack was identified by random clerk who is under investigation himself for giving prescriptions, which is what I am being charged with. I explained to detectives when asked if I was out of the country over the last year and a half and I said Yes. I told them of a trip where I was out of the country. One of the FAKE prescriptions that were written out and picked up was on one of the dates I was out of the country. It could have easilly been viewed from computers that were available and from my passport that was available also. When I got out of jail and saw my charges (10 counts) The date I told detectives of where I was out of the country I was not charged with?!

Answer 1

See what I mean? For an allegation of DRUGS any old store clerk or gas station attendant can provide PROBABLE CAUSE. Just isn't fair at all.

Answer 2

You need to contact a civil rights attorney in your area and get a free consult. If the cops had probable cause, though, they can pretty much do whatever they want with you. I am terribly sorry to hear of your experience; there's nothing that turns your world upside down more than being falsely arrested, treated like a scumbag, tossed out on the street only to find that the criminal arrest process in America seems an awful lot like the Gestapo when you're caught up in it. Good luck to you.

Answer 3

Did you lose any income during the time were jailed? If you are planning to sue I hope it is just for lost wages and not some super high amount just because you are trying to get money. I don't know your whole story and don't mean to sound rude but people now seem very quick to sue. I think there may be more to your story than you re letting on.

Answer 4

You might be in the right, but you better have a butt load of money or evidence. If you got enough evidence a lawyer might take it on a contingency. It really sounds like you better count yourself lucky if you can get free of the whole deal without to much hassle.

Answer 5

You are free to sue anyone, for anything. Whether or not you can win in a court of law is another thing. You'll find no shortage of lawyers willing to work for you as long as you can pay them. Good luck.

Answer 6

Yes you can,but you have like only 30 days to file.
I was violated worse then that by a 450 lb. scum bag Judge.He has Judicial Immunity,but I could of sued the cops whom he told to arrest me.This countries laws blow for the peon's here.I had my home searched for a letter with phone numbers on it and a frozen chicken.All for lies and Bj's and sexual favors from a crack Ho.

Answer 7

Nope, you sure couldn't sue! They didn't do anything out of the ordinary. You, however, should NOT be saying a word to ANYONE but your ATTORNEY about this. Go get an attorney and ONLY speak to your attorney. NO ONE ELSE.

Answer 8

Yes you can sue. I would sue because that isn't right to be false arrested then for theme to withheld rights.

Answer 9

You need to get a lawyer because that is a tough one, but it seems that if you can prove all of that then you could probably sue.

Answer 10

I believe that you in some way are involved in this scheme. you may have been charged with more then you can be convicted with but, you have knowledge of this in some way
