If your constitutional rights were violated because of a false arrest, there may be legal recourse available. Contact a Miami criminal defense attorney to learn if you have a legitimate case.
One of the more common ways that an individual’s rights may be violated is through a false arrest. This is usually based on a violation of their Fourth Amendment rights. In order for an individual to be arrested, there must be probable cause for an officer to do so. It can’t be done on a hunch or an assumption made by the officer.
Of course, most crimes are not committed in view of an officer. It is important to understand that whether you are accused of a misdemeanor or a felony, you may still be arrested without a warrant.
Even if you were mistakenly arrested, it doesn’t automatically mean it was a false arrest. If it can be shown there was a reasonable cause for a police officer to do so, they haven’t violated your rights.
The only way to prove that you were the victim of a false arrest is to show evidence that there wasn’t a reasonable cause. This will require that you seek experienced legal counsel.
