Unlawful Arrests

An unlawful arrest is an incident of arresting, holding, or detaining a person against their will without probable cause. Far too often, police officers will wrongfully arrest civilians in order to intimidate or harass them. This is particularly common at protests, where protestors have faced false and unlawful arrests in retaliation for their protest activity.
