FAQ

Instead of an individual filing the complaint, the government usually files the criminal complaint against the individual. However, some states do allow individuals to file criminal complaints. Essentially, it's a judicial order, a court-issued document that charges the defendant with specific crimes.

File a complaint by calling the Intake Investigator at (617) 371-9500 or (888) 485-4766.

Examples of felony charges include murder, robbery and rape (see Penal Codes) and possession of dangerous drugs for sale (see Health and Safety Codes). Felony processing generally includes an arrest is made and the defendant is taken to jail where either: No charges are filed and defendant is released.

Individuals do not file criminal charges in U.S. district courts. A criminal proceeding is initiated by the government, usually through the U.S. attorney's office in coordination with a law enforcement agency.

What Is a Criminal "Complaint"? the defendant. the date of the alleged offenses. the alleged offenses (including the relevant statutes, and whether the violations are misdemeanors or felonies), and. some kind of description of the alleged facts underlying those offenses.

Typically, plaintiffs bringing allegations of false arrest against state authorities need to prove all three of the elements outlined below. The arrest was inappropriate. The person detained suffered harm. An officer was the cause of the injury.

Proving False Arrest To be successful with a civil lawsuit pertaining to false arrest, you must prove three elements of your case. These are as follows: Law enforcement officials arrested you without a valid warrant, without a warrant at all, or without probable cause. You suffered actual harm as a result.

A conservative estimate is that you can get $1,000 per hour of wrongful incarceration. This figure can go up to many thousands of dollars per hour if aggravating factors apply. For instance, if you had medical complications after your arrest and had to go to the hospital in handcuffs, then your payout could be higher.

Gather evidence: If possible, try to remember details of the arrest, like the officer's name and any witnesses. Contact an attorney: Talk to a lawyer specializing in wrongful arrest. They can advise you on your legal options, which may include filing a lawsuit against the arresting officer or department.
