Kidnapping is when someone takes another person (either against their will or by luring them away) or keeps a person against their wishes, in order to make that person or someone else give something up to let that person go. False Imprisonment is when someone confines or detains another person without their consent.
The most common defense is consent. In other words, the victim voluntarily agreed to being confined.
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.
Examples of false imprisonment: You prevent someone from leaving by grabbing that person's arm; You lock someone in a bedroom; You tie someone to a chair.
A person commits false imprisonment when they engage in the act of restraint on another person which confines that person in a restricted area. False imprisonment is an act punishable under criminal law as well as under tort law.
