False arrest is one several types of civil rights lawsuits. False arrest claims are quite common in police misconduct cases.
False arrest claims involve a violation a person's Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable seizure by a police officer or a member of law enforcement. However, if police actually had probable cause to believe a person committed a crime, the arrest is most likely not unreasonable and may not violate the Fourth Amendment. Courts do give police some leeway to make mistakes when making an arrest. In civil rights cases, false arrest claims are usually brought together with others claims like malicious prosecution.
