Q: I was arrested for having bear spray, which is legal for felons to posses due to it being labeled as a pesticide.
Because of the arrest, police in another city who were investigating an unknown person who pepper sprayed 3 people started looking at me as a suspect and eventually arrested me weeks later.
Here is my q:
Because I was falsely arrested and since the false arrest itself caused my name to appear in multiple places investigators could and did find it, along with the name / nature of the charge, is there grounds to suppress any evidence stemming from that arrest? What would you do if this happened to you? How would you handle it?
Also,
When I was arrested I invoked within 5 minutes of the beginning of questioning. I ended up bailing out of jail (150k bail) and was arrested on related charges that are part of the same case within 24 hours. IE: arrested 9pm day 1, got out 3am day 2 and arrested 8am day 3. On day 3 they tried to question me again and I talked some about 3 additional charges they had added to the case then booked me with 150k bail. Is this evidence admissible?
A:
More info is needed.
Ask your atty/pD who will have a police report.
If you talked to police it abounds like you waived your rights.
