<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1431599, member: 31533&quot;]IMO, there was absolutely no reason to arrest, book, and jail the guy. The store clerk may have thought it was a fake bill, but unless he knew it was fake, why would he even call the police. And when the police came, why would they take this guy into custody, unless the guy was resisting arrest, in which case, the police don&#039;t have to worry about anything. It&#039;s one thing to file for a wrongful arrest, and wrongful imprisonment, based on a clerk saying the bill is fake. It&#039;s another to resist arrest on that. That would be a problem. All the police have to show is reasonable cause for whatever they took him in for.</p><p><br /></p><p>I somehow think this may not be the whole story. But the police will most likely be covered for having a reasonable cause, or because they acted in good faith on the complaint of a business.</p><p><br /></p><p>The likeliness of the store having the benefit of the doubt is less. All the guy needs to do is sue the clerk and the store for negligence in knowing what bills are legal in our country and acting in a manner that could reasonably lead to someone&#039;s arrest. I think a good lawyer could make a case that the store&#039;s actions were the perquisite for this, and that the store has damaged the customer, through the actions of the police.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
