False imprisonment is defined as consisting of unlawful restraint against the will of an individual's personal liberty or freedom of locomotion. Unlawful detention is the basis of false imprisonment. It is also defined as any intentional detention of the person of another unauthorized by law.
False imprisonment is confining or physically restraining a person, such as by being locked in a car, being tied to a chair or locked in a closet, with no legal authority to hold the person. It is similar to a charge of kidnapping and it usually occurs in conjunction with a false arrest. False imprisonment is often a crime and if proved is almost always the basis of a lawsuit for damages.
Any intentional detention of the person of another not authorized by law is false imprisonment. It is any illegal imprisonment, without due process or under a false authority, without consideration of whether any crime has been committed or a debt due.
