A: Several possible defendants. You need to consult an attorney who handles civil rights--for this I'd suggest you contact the Indiana Civil Liberties Union and ask for the names of "cooperating attorneys" who have been involved in false arrest cases. Another source would be to inquire of the National Consumer Law Center in Boston.
