Best Answer

Yes.

You can sue for wrongful imprisonment. You can also file a civil lawsuit againts the police if they cause such wrongful imprisonment.

Added: I cannot agree with the second answer. Unlawful IMPRISONMENT signifies that the defendant was tried, convicted, sentenced and remanded to prison after a complete trial process. Since "the police" do not (cannot) sentence anyone to prison perhaps what the contributor had in mind was Unlawful DETENTION.

Definition: IMPRISONMENT - A penalty imposed by a court under which the individual is confined to an institution, Title 18, USC. See below link:
