If you feel you've been falsely arrested, it's wise to jot down everything that happened and consult a lawyer who knows these matters inside out.
Probable cause means there are enough facts or evidence to believe someone has committed a crime. If cops don't have this, the arrest could be deemed false.
To claim false arrest, a person usually has to show they were detained without consent and they didn't have probable cause for that detention.
False arrest happens when someone is taken into custody without legal justification. It's like being put in handcuffs for no good reason!
