In the US, anybody and sue anyone for anything . . the question is, do you have a case?
Charges in a criminal case can be 'dropped' for any number of reasons, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the police did not have probable cause to arrest you in the first place. THAT is the burden you will have to prove - DID they have probable cause.

How much time does the dea have to appeal a case after charges are dropped?
Do you mean dropped or dismissed? Charges are dropped by the prosecutors office and since (presumably) the case never reached trial, no judicial action took place that action is not appealable in court. On the other hand, charges which are dismissed by the court CAN be appealed and there is a "reasonable" time period for remedying the underlying reason. Ask your defense attorney.
