How is it that a police can lie and say that I kicked him in the face and I get charged with resisting arrest?

When is the law right, so to speak ! Look whats been happening all over the US and other countries too on how the law is so corrupt and how it handles numerous cases.\n\nThe best thing to have is witnesses to start the case off in the right direction !

There are alot of laws that give a police officer the power to arrest you. Those laws are mainly there for peolple that get out of control. It is up to the officer to decide if ones actions warrant arrest depending on the situation and that persons attitude. I was lighting fireworks with my kids the day after 4th of july because their cousins missed my fireworks show the night of the 4th. The police showed up, wanted to know why I was lighting fireworks and asked me to stop. Fireworks (at leat the ones I was shooting off) was illegal. I could have been arrested without them asking me for a explanation and certainly been arrested had I not complied.

If you were not under arrest then you were free to leave at any time. You were not obligated to even go. So no he didn't have to read you your rights. Police officers often use the "Just between us - let's get this cleared up and forget about it" tactic get information, and it is perfectly legal.\nSorry man.

why'd you have a court appearance? sounds like false arrest under habeus corpus.

You would have to present evidence that you were detained without probable cause in order to have a case. You don't need to prove beyond reasonable doubt, just a preponderence of the evidence as this is a civil matter. It's hard to tell precisely if you would have a case based on your details, but I would guess that you have an uphill climb if it boils down to your word versus theirs. It might be advisable to consult a lawyer about this, but only if you truly feel that this was a case of police abuse of power.

It depends what mood the cop is in.  I tried it and was warned that I could be arrested for disorderly conduct.  I haved tried practcing my freedom of speech on several different occasions and sometimes it ended in a disorderly conduct charge and other times it didn't.  Like I said it depends on their mood.  Calling a cop a fat mother fu**** - no charge.  Calling a cop a prick - no charge.  Calling a cop an asshole - disorderly conduct.  Telling a cop to get the fuck outta my house - disorderly conduct.  It's your call.

They have to read you your rights and tell you why you are being arrested. They cant stick you in a car and drive you to the station, then tell you.\n\nThey could loose a case against you

What type of laws did they break?  Unless they’ve broken a criminal law, internal affairs can’t do anything.  If you’re talking about a false arrest or getting caught in a sting operation, the best recourse is to appeal the conviction.   Almost 100% of the time the lower courts will side with the police officer, but in the appeals court, the decision often swings toward the plaintiff.\n\nFabricating lies and spreading them with the intention of causing harm to another person is a civil matter.  Slander and libel are difficult to prove.  First you must prove the person is lying, then you must prove they are spreading those lies with the sole intention of hurting you and then you must prove those lies have caused you to lose something i.e.: a job, money, your home, etc.  Call an attorney and see if you have a case, but chances are, you can’t do anything.\n\nIf you have a video tape which contradicts even one sentence of the police report, you should appeal the case in a higher court.  All you have to do is catch them in one little lie to have the whole thing thrown out of court.

When a persons been arrested he is subject to search incident to that arrest. The search requires no warrant. Who did he ask for a lawyer? It's not the policeman's responsibility to provide the lawyer it's the court that does that. As far as having "grounds" he was under arrest, the officer doesn't need grounds! The search is justified because he is arrested. Whether anything was found has no bearing on whether or not the search was justified. This is the law, the Supreme Court has upheld it. We appreciate the service to our country but that has nothing do do with the crime he was arrested for.\nFurthermore since this person was arrested for filing a false report "lying" how much of his story should we actually believe?

I'm so sorry about this incident. I would file a complaint with the Pompton Lakes Safety Director, if there is one, if not, the Mayor. You didn't mention your outcome in court, but you should to seek the advise of counsel...you may have a case for false arrest and/or a Section 1983 action (basically a violation of your civil rights). Most police are honest and work hard at a tough job, but there are those that cross the line. Don't let this go, and allow this cop to railroad another innocent person. Good luck!

A jerk leveled a shotgun at a child, and I stepped between the two of them. I was enraged! He told me to move, I would not budge. He lowered the shotgun, and tried to explain his actions to me. I pulled my sidearm out, and called the police. I held the jerk at gunpoint until the police arrived. No charges were filed against me, since I acted in self defense of myself, and the child, my son. I could have died, but I will fight to the very death to defend my family, and friends.

talk to the public defender.  perhaps he can get a statement from your boyfriend and use it in defense of your case.  hopefully you'll just have to pay a fine and spend less than a year in jail.  good luck.\n\nmaybe plead guilty in exchange for 2 years probation and then they drop the charges after 2 years.

Many people sue the police every year for false imprisonment and sometimes they win their case - usually the arrest is lawful but they've been detained for too long or a review wasn't done when it should have been.\nFrom your question I guess you're looking for a specific case, but without more details I can't help you.

Many police are covered under umbrella immunity provisions.\n\nThe police officer needed a malicious reason to arrest you - given that you did not break the law.  A good attorney will file an illegal arrest lawsuit (or maybe a class action lawsuit if this rogue officer has mistreated other people in the same way).
