When law enforcement officers arrest an individual without probable cause, that individual may be able to clear the incident from their record and receive compensation for their grief and embarrassment. Those sworn to uphold the law have a responsibility to follow well-defined procedures before taking an individual into custody, but isolated instances may occasionally find officers making judgments that turn out to be less than prudent.
In certain cases, false arrests may also carry civil rights implications when the reason for an individual's detention is based more on demographic features than on any criminal misdoings. Incarcerated individuals may become victims of civil rights violations when detention officers exceed procedural limitations and subject inmates to humiliation and intimidation. Withholding food, water, or reasonable medical care creates an environment of suffering and degradation for which government agencies can be held accountable.
Retail stores are a common venue for false arrests, particularly when inadequate training puts ill-prepared security staff in positions of authority. If a store's security personnel detain an individual on the suspicion of shoplifting without proof, the accused person has grounds for a false arrest case. Prolonged detention prior to any official law enforcement involvement can inflict undue emotional trauma on the detainee.
