False Reporting Charges False reporting of domestic violence, sexual assault, fire, offense, bombing, or other types of emergencies are illegal. It is charged as a class one misdemeanor in Arizona. The sentencing of the crime includes probation with no jail time or up to six months in jail with a fine of up to $2,500.
False Imprisonment Defenses. Consent, justification, and self-defense or defense of others are all defenses to hostage false imprisonment.
Unlawful imprisonment, sometimes referred to as false imprisonment, is defined as detaining another person without legal authorization or against that person's will. Unlawful imprisonment typically occurs when one person prevents another person from leaving a vehicle, room, building, or other some other area.
False imprisonment or unlawful imprisonment occurs when a person intentionally restricts another person's movement within any area without legal authority, justification, or the restrained person's permission. Actual physical restraint is not necessary for false imprisonment to occur.
Unlawful Imprisonment, as mentioned, is a serious offense. Arizona law considers the crime a class 6 felony, meaning, if convicted, the accused faces at least a year in state prison. First time offenders sentenced to incarceration usually receive a one-year sentence, actually spending six months in prison.
A conservative estimate is that you can get $1,000 per hour of wrongful incarceration. This figure can go up to many thousands of dollars per hour if aggravating factors apply. For instance, if you had medical complications after your arrest and had to go to the hospital in handcuffs, then your payout could be higher.
