The police department and township could also be targeted for the distress caused. Wrongful arrests are usually discovered when the matter reaches court since most individuals aren\u2019t aware of the laws and their rights.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I resist arrest if I\u2019m sure it\u2019s wrongful?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re arrested and feel that it\u2019s unlawful, you can resist arrest. The person being arrested can tell the officer that it is wrongful. Once you have made that statement the officer can demand evidence of the statement. If the evidence provided is satisfactory, you won\u2019t be arrested and the officer won\u2019t be able to legally arrest you.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re unable to provide evidence, the arrest proceeds. It\u2019s best to cooperate with the arresting officer to avoid any issues along the way. When you are arrested, make sure you don\u2019t provide any written or oral statements to the officers. Your statement will be used during the hearing and can affect your case.
