A:
It sounds like you've been through a challenging situation. In matters involving unlawful arrest, it's critical to ensure that your rights are protected. To navigate this, you should retain an attorney experienced in criminal defense or civil rights. Document all details of the event, including the names of officers involved and any witnesses. Preserve any evidence or footage from the scene.
It's vital to challenge any charges or actions that you believe are unfounded promptly. Reach out to your local bar association for referrals to appropriate legal counsel. Remember, every individual has rights, and an attorney can help advocate for yours.
