A Bill to Fix False Arrest

BE IT ENACTED BY THE CONGRESS HERE ASSEMBLED THAT:

Preamble: Our current False Arrest legislation is foolish and annoying. Currently, False Arrest is a criminal offense that actually warrants incarceration in its bill. This nonsense causes a waste of manpower for both the Department of Justice and the Courts.

Section 1: An Amendment to a Bill to Recognize False Arrest and all other legislation regarding False Arrest shall be null and void.

Section 2: False Arrest shall be defined as the act of a law enforcement officer arresting an individual for an offense that isn’t unlawful, the wrong offense, or for arresting an individual for an offense they clearly didn’t commit.
B: Arrest shall be defined as the act of a law enforcement officer holding an individual in custody, with a probable cause, for breaking the law, or for an offense that the suspect has committed.
C: Probable cause shall be defined as having adequate reason to arrest someone, conduct a search, or seize property relating to an alleged crime.
D: A law enforcement officer shall be defined as a member of the Stapleton County Sheriff’s Office, Firestone State Patrol, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Corrections, or any other agency with the power to make arrests.
E: False Arrest, under this act, shall not be misconstrued as a criminal offense. Citizens (or an attorney in their stead) shall have the right to file civil litigation for this offense.

Section 3: Upon conviction of False Arrest in a court of law, a law enforcement officer shall be sentenced to termination or suspension depending on the sentencing judge’s discretion.
B: A runaway clause shall be established. Should a law enforcement officer leave their agency after the filing of civil litigation against them for False Arrest, and should they end up being convicted, they can obviously not be punished with the aforementioned repercussions. However, should all the requirements in this clause be met, a judge may revoke their Peace Officer Standards and Training Certification to ensure justice is served.
C: Pursuant to Article Three of the State Constitution, all of these punishments may be appealed at Appellate level should they be unjust or should the requirements of the runaway clause not be properly met.

Section 4: Whereas a Law Enforcement Officer misspells an offense or charge during the filling of an arrest report. The misspelled charge(s) or offense(s) shall be referred as the closest offense the officer was trying to write down. Thereof, shall the offense be recognized by government officials and referred with caution.

Section 5: This act shall be enforced by the Firestone Courts.

Section 6: This act shall only apply to False Arrest litigation filed after this act is passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the Governor.
