What Is A False Arrest?

False arrest: Where a person is held in custody without probable cause or an order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Although it is possible to sue law enforcement officials for false arrest, the defendants in such cases are often private security firms. False arrests often occur without any repercussions as individuals tend to be unaware of their rights when confronted with a law enforcement officer. Your rights during an arrest include the following:

  • The arresting officer must inform you what you’re being arrested for.
  • If the arrest is as a result of a warrant, the officer must notify you of the warrant for your arrest.
  • The officer must show you the warrant if you ask to see it.
  • The officer must inform you that you’re being placed under arrest during the arrest.
  • The warrant your arrested for is based upon false information.
