Q: do you think I would have a good case to sue the police for false arrest and get the 2500 I had to pay to bail out?
So to go more into detail the reason I was pulled over was because when I bought the car it came with new plates witch I when they tried to run them nothing was coming up so that’s the reason they had to pull me over but that’s not why they had got behind me in the first place because when I first seen him he was going the opposite way He pulled into a parking lot and waiting for me to pull out the gas station across the street from where he had just parked so at that point he was only going of if the way I look mainly cuzz I have tattoos on my face and head but how does it make any sense that they can arrest me saying the car was stolen without any evidence saying the car was stolen and I had a signed bill of sale in the car and when not even a week before then I had already been stoped by a different cop in the same car had all the same paperwork and he was able to pull my old plate number just by using the vin # on the car and had told me then that the car was good and not stolen
A:
more info needed.
i doubt if you would recover............especiallly if the police were acting on a citizen's report of something that was wrong.
i doubt if the case has enough value for a lawyer to accept on a contingency. If that's the case you would be stuck paying a lawyer on an hourly.
maybe consider small claims where you can sue for up to $10k and no lawyers are allowed.
however only the defendant can appear and then have lawyers.
