It sounds like you may have a case, I would suggest the 'find a lawyer' feature on Justia to find an attorney in your area that handles suits against police, called 1983 actions.

There's way too much going on here to get a quick answer over the internet. You need to consult with a real estate attorney in your area ASAP. You may have rights in the property based on the money you have put into it and from the terms of your agreement.

Having a showing during normal business hours is perfectly acceptable, weekday or weekend. Be nice about the process and... View More

To arrest, only probable cause to believe a crime was committed is sufficient. This is not even 50-50, but can be less than 50% likely. So, yes.
