dear shyla,


false imprisonment is a tresspass committed against another person by arresting and imprisoning him without just cause, contrary to law.  or


where a man is unlawfully detained without legal process.


to constitute false imprisonment two things are necessary, 1. detention of person 2. detention should be unlawful.


this offence deserves punishment under law.


usually writ of habeas corpus is invoked to overcome this problem.

Dear Shyla, You can also move for malicious prosecution for false imprisonment.

I think it is illegal/unlawful detention caused by misusing one's powers.

Dear Shyla,


 Intentionally restraining another person without having the legal right to do so. It's not necessary that physical force be used; threats or a show of apparent authority are sufficient. False imprisonment is a misdemeanor and a tort (a civil wrong). If the perpetrator confines the victim for a substantial period of time (or moves him a significant distance) in order to commit a felony, the false imprisonment may become a kidnapping. People who are arrested and get the charges dropped, or are later acquitted, often think that they can sue the arresting officer for false imprisonment (also known as false arrest). These lawsuits rarely succeed: As long as the officer had probable cause to arrest the person, the officer will not be liable for a false arrest, even if it turns out later that the information the officer relied upon was incorrect.
