Can i sue the city for false arrest and imprisonment?

my husband was arrested on a false charge for possestion of stolen property and he didn't have anything on him at the time of the arrestCan i sue the city for false arrest and imprisonment?
Negligent government officials could be held liable for errors in arrests and imprisonment.Can i sue the city for false arrest and imprisonment?
yes but you are going to need a lot of evidence. start with where he got picked up and see if it was caught on film or witnessed by anyone else. my boyfriend had a similar dilemma where he was charged with paraphernalia for having a pack of rolling papers, which is only a plausible charge if he had marijuana on him, but he didn't. the charges were dropped when i got a copy of the gas station tape where the police officer clearly emptied my boyfriend's pockets onto the hood of his car. unfortunately, the cops didn't get into any trouble for being a bunch of freakin liars!
Was he actually arrested or just taken into custody and questioned?


There is a big difference.
Yes you can, the police make mistakes to.
