To prove a false arrest, you'd need to show that law enforcement lacked probable cause to detain you. Think of it like trying to prove someone jumped the gun on a starting race.
A false arrest happens when someone is taken into custody without legal justification. It's like being trapped in a room without a key - you're held against your will unfairly.
