He was charged with drug trafficing and intent to distribute in New Mexico. We are from Texas. Well he was jailed there in Lea County for 8 months through investigations and other things. First he had only been to New Mexico about 2 times and only for work. He told them that, he didnt even meet the description the cop had of the suspect. He also took a polygraph and it said he was telling the truth of not being that person. He also went throught all these other things for the state and he knew and we all knew it wasnt him. Well last week they dismissed the case and are sending him home becuase the state failed to release information they had on the suspect that he had been hospitalized for gun shot wounds and a stabbing. Well when they examed my friend he had never been shot or even have the same scarring and the suspect had. Does he have a case for false imprisonment?False Imprisonment?<br >Yes. Find a qualified, competent attorney to sue these authorities who jailed him. Try to collect as much documentation (court records, police reports or even personal accounts) as quietly as possible before proceeding with a lawsuit since, when you file the suit, documents you may need may just disappear at the hands of those responsible. Good luck to you.False Imprisonment?<br >you cant really do anything about it.... thats the problem with our govt... they just want some one to blaim and they dont care who it is or if they even did it as long as they can prove otherwise... I think there should be some sort of compensation for false imprisonment though.... its just wrong that all you get is an appology.......<br >if your friend has a very good attorney he could possibly have a case but in all reality he should just appreciate being out cause what is he going to get out of it?<br >No, this happens. Polygraphs aren't even accepted as evidence in courtrooms.<br >if they found the drugs, they were within law enforcement rights.<br >If he had nothing to do with drugs, then yes. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You need an attorney and probably have a case.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />He would be able to get between $50-$1,500 per day + lost wages.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Only 21 states have compensation laws on the books, which spell out exactly how much you get for a wrongful conviction. Louisiana, for example, ponies up $15,000 for each year of incarceration, plus job training and help with college tuition. Alabama pays at least $50,000 a year, and California pays $100 per day. Meanwhile, the federal government forks over $50,000 for each year of incarceration for federal crimes, plus $50,000 for each year spent on death row.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In Connecticut, which is among the 29 states without compensation statutes, ex-prisoners must lobby the legislature to pass a private bill that grants compensation to a specific person. Here, the dollar amount loosely depends on what payments the state has made in the past. The number should account for the victim’s lost time, lost wages, and physical and mental suffering, as well as the effects on his or her family. Private bills are behind some of the multimillion-dollar rewards that make the headlines, but the payouts don’t always go off without a hitch. Florida, for instance, initially planned to award $1.25 million to Alan Crotzer for serving more than 24 years after being convicted of armed robbery and rape, but ultimately dropped the payment from its budget, instead giving $4.8 million to the parents of a teen who had died in juvie boot camp. (You can keep tabs on awards by reading Justice: Denied, “the magazine for the wrongly convicted.”)Romanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783418500550980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691885249436583978.post-34201653762726496872010-02-08T18:45:00.003-08:002010-02-08T18:45:49.020-08:00False arrest and/or imprisonment?It's when you are held without cause.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you can be more specific, people may be able to answer your question better.False arrest and/or imprisonment?<br >Question?Romanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783418500550980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691885249436583978.post-38575115577902061262010-02-08T18:45:00.002-08:002010-02-08T18:45:32.716-08:00False arrest imprisonment assault malicious prosecution round 2?i posted 10 hours ago and answers suggest i may have been lying to back things up the video of the arrest is at youtube just search for pc levitt the police confirm that no complaint had been made against me for assault i was then arrested for assault 2 more videos are being converted for viewing which have threats from pc levitt 393 and pc grange 2027 if i dont drop complaint i will regret it pc levitt 393 has provided a witness statement which is also published on the net please take time to read both his statement and listen to the audio evidence then make your mind upFalse arrest imprisonment assault malicious prosecution round 2?<br >He made it very clear to you, the other person had made a counter allegation of assault. They were prepared to drop the allegation if you did.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You chose not to drop it, meaning both parties could be arrested for this, and they would leave it for the courts to decide. at which time all the witnesses would be called and they could all give their story to the court.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />This is a common tactic, but clearly your girlfriend did not help matters I had no trouble with the volume when the Police spoke but when Sarah opened her mouth she was screaming and towards the end came across as aggressive. Not a big help when you state your a victim.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Go to a Dr and have your injuries recoded so it can be be used in evidence if needed. Some injuries like a dislocated finger are very obviously caused as a result of punching someone, others will obvious defence wounds if there are no defence injuries they will assume you were not a victim so you need to be able to explain what happened.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You were too drunk to make sense certainly Sarah was causing a breach of the peace, so its not helping your case.False arrest imprisonment assault malicious prosecution round 2?<br >You should have listened and went home. The officers told you more than a dozen times to drop it and go home. You dont bring up a charge and the other guy wont. You should have let it go. Its not a false arrest or malicious arrest, they were quite clear when they told you that the other guy wasnt going to file a complain and neither should you, but you obviously didnt want to listen. You didnt drop the complains and now you regret it, just as they had told you. Because now you forced their hands and have to prosectute you. Good job. Perhaps next time the police tell you to drop something, you wont argue, you'll take their advise and move on.<li><a href='http://short-hair-cut-rr.blogspot.com/'>short hair cut</a></li>Romanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783418500550980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691885249436583978.post-12789120328231669462010-02-08T18:45:00.001-08:002010-02-08T18:45:16.808-08:00False arrest imprisonment assault malicious prosecution?im starting to go mad iwas assaulted by a bouncer so i called the police when they arrived i was taken to one side and told that if i wanted to make a complaint of assault against the bouncer then i would be arrested pc grange went on to explain that no one had made a complaint of assault against me i suffered a broken nose badly bruised arm wrist i told the officer that i would still wish to complain about the assault i was then placed under arrest for assault cuffed searched put in the back of the van pc levitt 393 came to the van and said im going to give you some serious advice drop your complaint or you will regret it 5 mins later he came back and dearrested me then kept stopping me from leaving the area he was told the other officer to leave me i walked away the officer ran back to me and placed me under arrest for drunk and disorderly i was released to appear at court when i got there i had the whole thing on my mobile the cps have this evidence but still havnt dropped the caseFalse arrest imprisonment assault malicious prosecution?<br >If the CPS wont drop the case it sounds like you are bang to rights....Perhaps you should stop shouting your mouth off in night clubs and then kick off at the bouncers....you are a silly boy aren't you!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />BTW...Why are you posting officer number on here? Would you like it if i put your Email address all over the net?False arrest imprisonment assault malicious prosecution?<br >I don't think you have much of a complaint. There is obviously more to this story and this is usually the case when someone gets drunk to the point that a bouncer kicks them out of the bar, causing the bar to lose more money that was going to be spent on overpriced drinks. From everything you said, it sounds like you were drunk and out of control!<br >Sounds a bit far fetched to me. What were you doing for the bouncer to assault you?. If this is true then make a formal complaint to the Police. I can't see a problem with posting Officers names and numbers if they are in the wrong, but if it's not true then you could be in serious trouble.<br >its against the law to fight with bouncers your not telling us why the bouncer attacked you and if you where drunk do you even remember what sounds like happened to me is that you where arrested for fighting with the bouncer then the bouncer decided not to press charges and since you probably where drunk and pissed the officers off by acting stupid so they took you to jail for drunk and disorderly<br >you are either making up this story or someone did it for you.one is not arrested for filing charges.you said you were arrested and then dearrested. there is no such thing as being dearrested.i read this 3 times and got the same thing each time,this is pure bs.<br><br /><br />----------retired texas deputy sheriff----------<br >Don't believe you. Sounds more like you were drunk, tried to pick a fight with the doorman and came off worse. Then the police gave you the chance to go away quietly, you wouldn't and were arrested. Clearly the CPS have the evidence they need.<br >Maybe try making a complaint at a different police station, or two.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Hopefully the judges are on the lookout for police wrongdoing.<br >There's no such thing as justice, just us.<br >This does't sound right. As the late Paul Harvey would say, what's the rest of the story.<br >that's sad right there.<br >Obviously an incident occurred in a night club during which you alleged that you had been assaulted by door-staff. They obviously ejected you for a good reason. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />When people are drunk it is often difficult for them to accept advice, either from police or otherwise. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Clearly the bouncers wanted to make a counter allegation that you assaulted them, which they dropped when you dropped yours.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Clearly someone was in the wrong. Whether that was you, we will never know. Arguing with the police whilst drunk wasn't the wisest move. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It's not the case that the police always believe bouncers because we don't. We look at all the available info and make a decision based on that. Only a few years ago I arrested two bouncers who had assaulted a male. Independent witnesses came forward at the time and verified the injured males story.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The fact that CPS are not dropping the case tends to suggest that there is sufficient evidence to secure a conviction.<br >that is the most stupididest thing i have ever heard. you getting arrested for nothing, what is this world coming to. you are the victim and your the one whos been made to look like a criminal. what a discrace. that bouncer should be the one getting arrested not you. we need to startfighting back with things like this because its just not on. good luck mateRomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783418500550980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691885249436583978.post-73311119415137044852010-02-08T18:45:00.000-08:002010-02-08T18:45:00.674-08:00False/True imprisonment?If false imprisonment is a crime, doesn't that mean that ';true imprisonment'; exists and is NOT a crime?

Do some of the charges drop once he goes to court. He does not have a criminal record. They gave hime these four violent charges .Does anyone know how much time do arm robbery, burglary.kidnapping,false imprisonment can get ?<br >A lot depends on what state he was charged in. I don't know about the false imprisonment charge but the armed robbery here in TN can be up to 20 years for a first offense. Kidnapping can be up to life here. The burglary will depend on the class of offense. If he was armed, it was night and people were home it would b class A offense here and can carry quite a sentence.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />There are a lot of variables. His sentences could be set one after another or could be served at the same time. Some charges could be lessened or dropped depending on the evidence or the details.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You need a good lawyer if you can afford one. If you can't try your best to get a Public Defender instead of a court appointed attorney.Does anyone know how much time do arm robbery, burglary.kidnapping,false imprisonment can get ?<br >There are many factors in this. States are different. In some, armed robbery can carry a life sentence. In others, it could be less than 20 years. As for the other charges, I don't know.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You need to talk to a public defender to find out what kind of sentences your husband could be facing. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed to defend your husband. If you can afford one, hire a criminal attorney.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Remember...he has the right to a jury trial and everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Your husband can be sentenced to serve consecutively or concurrently. There is a difference. It is really up to the prosecutor as to whether any or all of the charges could be dropped or reduced to a lesser degree. A lesser plea could be given. A plea bargain could be offered. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />See what I mean? Talk to an attorney.

He went to jail, got right out. Then went to court a couple months later. His lawyer said he was going to get the judge to give him a lesser sentence. Like making it to where what he did wasn't that bad. I think he got charged with false imprisonment instead of domestic battery. I'm not sure because I left him right after he went to court for this. He now has a warrant and it says it was issued in January 2009 for false imprisonment. How could have that happened? Is it likely that this whole case is still open? Or could he have done something to someone else? I have been gone for 8 months now.False imprisonment???<br >I agree that he more and likely violated something. maybe after getting out of jail for hitting you he had parole or probation and then messed up again. You did the right thing to get away and you shouldn't care if he gets put in again.

I went back to see him, and they were 拢1.95, and he said he had just taken one out of an open packet. I didnt think much of it. So we walked out and sat on a bench, and he put it on (he had a blister) then this man came up to us in plain clothes and showed us some iD, he was like ';ye come with me, to my mate'; and said I had to come aswell because I was an accomplice. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />We went into this small room in Superdrug, and he wrote out some banning notices. They didn't look very offical, and they didnt take any picture or anything, so I cant imagine they actually mean much. But I'll trust him on that one. Then this guy said he had to ring our parents to come and pick us up, because he had a ';duty of care'; and if we went of and got hit by a bus it would be there fault. So he rang both our parents, and for some reason refused to tell them it was a plaster. My dad couldn't pick me up, but my mates mum came and took us both home, this whole thing went on from 3:20, all the way to 5:30. I was told by someone I know that I can do them for false imprisonment as I wasn't offered anything to eat or drink, and my friend wasn't allowed to go to the toilet.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />What do you think of this. Also in your opinion, do you think I did anything wrong?Mate shoplifted a plaster, and I was a 'accomplice'.. in back of super drug for 2 hours+ False imprisonment?<br >By law...because you were aware of the theft but neglected to stop or report the theft...you become an accomplice to the theft.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The plain clothesman was store security and a representative of the owner who complied with his company policy to ';trespass'; you from using the store but declined to have you arrested possibly due to your young age.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The ';duty of care'; is an issue where you MUST be released to a responsible parent or legal guardian. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You were NOT violated and because you were detained for committing a crime, there was NO false imprisonment!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Being ';held'; for two hours does not invoke some special constitutional right that you be provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />My suggestion, next time do the right thing and you can avoid the inconvenience your mate caused!Mate shoplifted a plaster, and I was a 'accomplice'.. in back of super drug for 2 hours+ False imprisonment?<br >let it go. you weren't harmed and they didn't call the police. get on with your life.<br >Apparently you live on the other side of the pond. You're lucky that you didn't get the police called on you. It is the stores resposibility to contact your parents. They did the correct thing here. You were in the wrong for allowing your friend to walk out of the store with the item he stole. You were an accomplice and accessory. You have no case. You're lucky that all your got was a tresspass issued from the store. Let it go. If you try to go after them for false imprisonment, they can in turn press charges for theft. 2 hrs of your life for not having a record is worth it.<br >Superdrug are a massive business, try to sue their employee and they may counter sue your friend for criminal damage (opening the plaster packet) and shoplifting.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />They are also well within their rights to use reasonable force to detain individuals for a reasonable amount of time in cases of shoplifting. What is deemed reasonsble is decided by the courts and there is nothing to say that they can't detain you for 2 hours. Indeed the police are increasingly putting cells in shopping centres and supermarkets so shoplifters can be detained more easily.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopi鈥?/a><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk鈥?/a><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I would also be grateful that they didn't involve the police, and if I were you I would choose my friends more carefully in future.<br >just be lucky both of you were not put to jail. our former worker had that trouble with an accomplice who shoplifted. 5 of them in the group and only one did the act. so both of them (5) were taken into custody for interrogation.it could be just OK and not be worst if they have visa, but because all of them are illegals, so they were brought to the jail for 2months imprisonment as punishment for shoplifting, and 2months being held at the immigration center to process the papers for deportation.<br >Careful here. You may not have known this, but it is possible for a professional forensic annalist to S.C.A.N. a written statement like yours and discriminate between a truthful statement and a lie.<br><br /><br />It is clear from the contents of your statement and the structure of your wording that you were part of the theft (shoplifting). ';I didn't think much of it. So we walked out ...'; gave you away. You did commit an offense. Whether you can be found guilty will be based on the available evidence. What I think of this? You were a ';citizens'; arrest, which is correct by law. However, they need to be reasonable in how they treat you, especially coming to minors. Remember, if you had not stolen with your friend, you would not have been detained.<br >';Guilt by association';<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You got screwed. . ., can you do anything about it. No. The security officer can keep you there for a reasonable amount of time. You were kept until an adult could pick you up, that is reasonable. They are not required to supply you with food and drink at all. Your friend did not get to go to the toilet because they did not want him stealing anything else. You can not sue for false imprisonment. You might try suing your buddy for damaging your reputation.Romanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783418500550980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691885249436583978.post-82777994075918934742010-02-07T03:00:00.001-08:002010-02-07T03:00:30.861-08:00What is the likelihood my ex will be charged and convicted for assault on a female, and false imprisonment?-On two consecutive days he attacked me and attempted to strangle me to death<br><br /><br />- On both occasions he stated that he was going to kill me; that I was going to take my last breath on the bed; and my son would be next<br><br /><br />- On both occasions he strangled me until I was unable to breathe; stated that he was ';state certified crazy,'; and enjoyed the sight of bleeding, and killing people<br><br /><br />- He stated that if he is not able to seek revenge on me then he would use friends, family, others to seek out, and kill me<br><br /><br />- On the second occassion he stated that he was going to ';finish the war I started by killing me; and he blocked me from fleeing the bedroom where this assault occured<br><br /><br />- I have filed for a restraining order following the assult<br><br /><br />- He allegedly has an attorney that he plans to use to get ';him out of the trouble that I put him in';<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Please answer honestly...I hope it's ok if I contact you for further details.

This is not the place to get useful information on things like that.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you filed charges with the police (and I hope you did), they will probably begin investigative proceedings against him, and you will be able to work with the prosecuting attorney. Otherwise, this is a civil case and you need to get an attorney on your own.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Good luck!<br >i dunno about ';assault on a female';, but yeah.. youv got battery too, attempted murder, etc. take his worthless *** to court!<br >1) Yes contact me.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />2) Go to the courthouse immediately.

Browsing a bit. I found a few cds I was interested in an decided ai would come back tomorrow and buy them. I went to leave and the security machine went off. I forgot to take one of the cds out of my pocket. I tried to calmly explain this to them but they didnt want to listen. I ended up wrestling with the security guard who tackled me into a candy rack. I got up and ran away from him assaulting me and grabbed a broom to fend him off. A little while later the cops got there. I tried to calmly explain to them what happened as well but they wouldnt listen. What ever happened to the custoemr is always right. How much could I get in a lawsuit against Target?What kind of money can I win if I sue Target for false imprisonment?<br >You have to be a troll, no one can be that stupid.What kind of money can I win if I sue Target for false imprisonment?<br >Yeah, okay.........If you really thought Target was in the wrong, it doesn't sound like you want to punish them to show right from wrong at all, sounds like you are just a greedy troll.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The security guard had every right to do what he did, and he was not assaulting you.<br >This seems like a very complicated situation! You probably could make a lot of money if you can prove that the security guard used unnecessary force. I assume you have a record now, which may make it hard for you to get a job in the future; You may be able to sue Target for future damages (not Having a job).I suggest you do some Research first, google ';premise liability'; for the guard hurting you..As far as the arrest goes I'm not sure about that one. Open a phone book and find an injury lawyer.<br >ok target ap's are NOT allowed to tackle anyone, so that's a crock, the fact that you attacked him means that you will be getting further police action and putting in pocket denotes intent to steal, [hint that's why there are ALWAYS baskets right by the cd section]<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Please try the lawsuit, we love them especially when ALL your actions would have been on camera......if nothing else target has some pretty good security and makes REALLY good use of it.<br >Buying the company's merchandise makes you a customer. Putting it in you pocket, whether intentionally or not, makes you a thief. You cannot sue them for protecting their property. They have a right to detain you until the police come.<br >0.00<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You will get a record, but no money or cd's<br >In the US generally, there is a ';shopkeeper's privilege'; to briefly detain you to investigate suspected shoplifting. It is not false imprisonment.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />As for the wrestling and all that followed, who did what to whom first is unclear, but generally you are the one who is not looking too good in this situation.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Most like outcome: Target will have a case against you.<br >None because you are still guilty of theft. You attempted to leave without paying. Your actions prove your guilt. No words you say can change that. Next time don't stick the CD in your pocket, get a shopping cart.<br >You shoplifted and then used a broom to assault a security guard and you want to sue Target? You do realize that neither the police and nor a court will take you seriously, don't you?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you don't get charged with theft and assault, count yourself lucky. Don't bother suing them. It will waste your time and annoy everyone involved.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />BTW - if you were not buying anything, you were not a customer, so the idea of ';the customer is always right'; is not applicable in this case.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Nice try, though.<br >$ 0.00Romanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783418500550980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691885249436583978.post-70500690921793182122010-02-07T02:59:00.001-08:002010-02-07T02:59:26.971-08:00What movie was it that Brendan Fraser suffered from false imprisonment?I remember watching a movie in class last year, and it was Brendan Fraser's first movie (supposably) i think it was originally a TV-only movie...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It was about him hanging out in a park with a friend (both were drunk) and somebody ended up murdering someone and Brendan Frasers character ended up getting arrested due to a false idenification by a teen.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />He ends up spending 10+ years in prison before finally set free... <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Does ANYONE know what movie im talking about?? i cant find any information about it at all, and its bugging me.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Please?What movie was it that Brendan Fraser suffered from false imprisonment?<br >I'm convinced you've confused Brendan Fraser with someone else, because i went up and down his imdb page checking out all his acting credits and found nothing of that sorts.

She told him to move once but he didn't respond, then she took a pen and stabbed him in the back. The cops were called, and they wrote him a domestic violence victim form. Thirty minutes later, they decided that his sister was the victim instead and ended up arresting my boyfriend on the count of false imprisonment. I was under the impression false imprisonment is a form of kidnapping. Is standing in someone's way actually jepordizing their well-being or putting them in harm?Does this situation constitute as false imprisonment?<br >Any time someone is held against their will without just cause, it is false imprisonment.Does this situation constitute as false imprisonment?<br >If he blocked her way and refused to move so that she was free to leave, it is false imprisonment if he has no legal right to detain her.<br >Yes, that can very well qualify.Romanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783418500550980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691885249436583978.post-39498483758172166842010-02-07T02:57:00.000-08:002010-02-07T02:57:03.229-08:00Another question about False Imprisonment under North Carolina law...please answer if you KNOW!!!?Thank you all for answering my previous question about False Imprisonment. For those of you who need a synopsis of my motives for asking this, basically, it's a case where my friend wants to go to Church, and the husband blocks the doorway of the bedroom and confines her against her will so she doesn't go. After 20 minutes or so, after cohercing her into saying ';ok, fine, I won't go to church';, he lets her out of the room, but is behind her all the time to make sure she doesn't ';run out'; of the house. He'll go and guard the front door, or the back door of the trailer (they live in a trailer).<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />So, several of you answered that this DOES, in fact, constitute a case of False Imprisonment. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />My next question would be: Under North Carolina law, would this constitute a case of False Imprisonment? How could I find out?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />ThanksAnother question about False Imprisonment under North Carolina law...please answer if you KNOW!!!?<br >http://www.eldersafe.net/statutes1.html<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Confinement<br><br /><br />The abuser/suspect holds another person against his/her will and/or engages in behavior which results in the person’s inability to freely move about or seek assistance. Confinement defined is, “some form of imprisonment within a given area such as a room, a house, or a vehicle.”<br><br /><br />(294 N.C. 503)Another question about False Imprisonment under North Carolina law...please answer if you KNOW!!!?<br >If someone wrongfully prevents someone else from leaving a room, a vehicle, or a building when that person wants to leave, this is false imprisonment. This can apply to family members if the person desiring to leave is an adult.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />http://criminal-law.freeadvice.com/viole…<br >This is a really grey area. The husband's actions are not clear - either he is just exercising his matrimonial rights and trying to make an argument - or he is committing domestic abuse. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Problem here is her fear level. If she is just resigned that she cannot get through the door because he's in the way, that's one thing. If she fears that he will do physical harm to her if she tries to get past him, that's another entirely. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />There is no law against being a bully in your own house - although it's good grounds for divorcing the asshole. I think she should get a deputy to escort her to a safe place and never go back.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I do not think this constitutes false imprisonment, though.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />- StuartRomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783418500550980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691885249436583978.post-61835069771814712252010-02-07T02:56:00.002-08:002010-02-07T02:56:46.989-08:00Would this be false imprisonment under tort law in Michigan?If a company (or a particular branch of a business) has a regular habit of having the nighttime manager lock the doors at closing time then require employees to wait to be let out, could it be construed as false imprisonment under tort law? I am not talking 5 minutes or even 10, but sometimes between 15 and 30 minutes? I don't want to sue, just have enough to back me when I say HEY my feet are tired, you aren't paying me anymore because you made me punch out and I want to go home. The doors are locked and alarms set. There are fire exits, however to use one would trigger an alarm and would likely result in disciplinary action for compromising security. This is a retail store. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />My feelings are that the manager knows when people are scheduled to get off based on the schedule and SHOULD be at the door within 5 minutes of that time to let people out. Any thoughts?Would this be false imprisonment under tort law in Michigan?<br >It actually is not false imprisonment or unlawful confinement. However you may have an issue to talk about the department of labor about. It does not seem to be anything illegal, but maybe borderline.Would this be false imprisonment under tort law in Michigan?<br >Wow. That doesn't sound legal at all. I don't know about ';tort law,'; but they're probably breaking some kind of law. Since it's a crime to set off a fire alarm in absence of a fire, they're creating a situation where you'd have to break a law just to go outside. Maybe you should call OSHA?Romanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524783418500550980noreply@blogger.com0
