False Arrest and False Imprisonment PDF Print E-mail
A false arrest or imprisonment involves taking away a person’s freedom where such person cannot exercise his will or go anywhere he might lawfully go. The plaintiff must show that there was no reason for the arrest. (i.e. that he was not shoplifting)... Some Alabama statutes protect merchants who detain a customer for shoplifting if the merchant has probable cause for detaining said person.
