I live in a condo.I invited a friend to spend the weekend with me (African American).One afternoon we went to swimming pool.On our way as we passed by the other condos a person was shouting racial remarks from his condo lanai but we could not see exactly which condo.As he continued I remarked back “are you on medications”continued on our way to pool.At the pool we were talking with a older couple about the wildlife all around us.Suddenly a man appeared at a distance in a rage shouting and screaming comments that were difficult to make sense.I tried to to ignore the man and comforted my friend while many people watched and listened.Suddenly a police officer arrived.Walked up to the man .The man pointed at us with no discussion the officer marched to the pool entered and stood next to the pool and demanded that I get out of the pool.As I started to exit the pool in his direction I was asking “Whats the problem” Now in a rage he repeated angrily to get out and would not answer my questions as I got closer.Then his demeanor changed and said,”Oh I just want to ask you some questions.As I got to the edge and began to lift myself out he suddenly grabbed me.However being wet he began to lose his grip and balance and was falling towards the water.I was of course right below him I caught him and pushed him back to his feet.I got out and thinking he must be glad that I saved him from falling in.As I stood there waiting for him to respond he says “I am going to tase you!I told him that I am wet and please don’t.He fired anyways while there were children right behind me.I am disabled with a back injury and the taser caused me to flip around and around rolling towards the water.Finally the taser stopped and I sat down on a chair behind in disbelief.after a few minutes he came over removed the taser and cuffed me .As he was cuffing me I ask why he did what he had done. He said the man who is the v.p. of the board said we were trespassing.I told him that untrue I live here.He panicked and began to rush around doing something.I was taken to the front of the condos an ambulance was there and he sat me down on a gurney.As i sat there I watched as the police argued with the ambulance guys as to who get possession of me.One of the residents shouted That man is on medication!So the ambulance guys took me But before they took me as I sat in the position the officer placed me another officer arrived out of nowhere and came to me Shouting for me to lie down on the gurney at the loudest voice possible his face becoming very red.I thought what is this officer so angry and why was he commanding me to lie back when the first officer never told me to do so and saw that I was still sitting up but it wasn’t a issue.The officer who arrived after the fact acted as though I was not cooperating creating a drama in the presence of many people.As the ambulance guys took me away I was listening to their conversation about the behavior of these officers and were amazed.I was amazed.went to hospital then to jail house bailed out very quickly compared to the others.Some days later I received news that the prosecuting attorney refused to take this to court and was thrown out or dismissed.I never learned what the results were about the false report the officers behavior etc.My religious understanding is Christians should not sue people so i arrange to meet with v.p.discuss the matter and that I would not pursue legal action.To my surprise He confesses that he new i was not trespassing and wasn’t expecting officer to do the things he did .Would like professional help on understanding many questions.Took place in 08. thanks Michael.

A person accused me of stealing their car so police detained me for a hour. it wasn’t his car. is there anything i can do

charges were filed against my husband for theft by the police officers. my mother, which is the victim wants the case dismissed due to the fact she wore the jewelry numerous times after the officers claimed he so called pawned the jewelry. my mother as been trying to get a hold of the officers to explain this however they are avoiding her. i heard that in some cases if the victim refuses to testify the case can be dropped. Is this possible even if the victim did not sign the charges?

What is a wrongful arrest? Is it any arrest of an innocent person? What if someone is arrested due to “probable cause” but later turns out to be innocent? Is that a wrongful arrest? Is a wrongful arrest the same as a false arrest?

my son has been incarcerated for alleged act of stalking his ex girlfriend. He lives 3 hours away, and has disabilities. He cannot drive a car. He has to rely on his girlfriend for transportation. He has also been cleared of charges of calling and harassment on the Land Line Phone and mine and his brother’s cell phone. We do not live in Duncan, we live in Tulsa. There is no way this could happen, but he is in jail for doing all of this. He is accused of being somewhere he was not on here say. He was never seen at this residence. She went from saying she heard knocking at the door and then she got a call on the phone saying it was him coming to get her to him knocking at the door and saying who he was. The judge looked over the facts and sent him to jail with a bail of $5,ooo.oo on stalking charges saying he has been doing this for six months even with evidence that he wasn’t in Oklahoma and had no access to my phone or his brother’s phone. After i changed my number, she still said the calls were coming from my phone as well. the judge dropped the phone charges, and while we were waiting to go into court, the police came and arrested him saying he had been charged for stalking for 6 months. How can that be if cleared and there is no legal evidence of the incident. No one saw him, all the information was here say and her story changed each time she was asked about the incident. Also, when she said her was at her home, he was on vacation with his girlfriend and her father in another state.

I plead guilty to breaking a no contact order twice and assault 4 on 8/27/09. I served a forty five day commitment and was released on oct 10 2009. I then called the police on oct 16 2009 to help me with a situation at my house. By the way the no contact order was lifted the day I plead guilty. When the police came to supposedly help me they ended up arresting me for violation of a no contact order. They held me for 3 and a half days and then released me on PR I then went to court the next day and they dismissed the charge because someone there didn’t turn in the paper showing that it was lifted. So I would like to sue the city of everett, I made a mistake and had to pay,now they made a mistake and I want them to pay.

hi, my son got arrested for shoplifting that he did not do. wal mart thinks he did it but it was someone did that, not my son. county sheriff put him in jail without reading his rights. can my son sue them for faulty arrested?

I have a clean record and am being charged with chasing a kid at a nightclub down and punching him “numerous” times. The letter i had gotten had stated that but it was obviously false. The so called “victim” had lied on it and i don’t know what to do. In all honesty the kid had instigated the fight first.

Can the police take you to the station in handcuffs because son broke windows in house an spit in my face and did more property damage and they took me as his parent to station as I would not allow him back in his bed after he broke window and smashed all my plants and they refused too look at damage and then I ended up in hospital with heart issues that they were aware of but withheld treatment at first and refused me more
