That amount he is suing for is not that crazy given the damage to his reputation by someone lieing to the police to get an arrest warrant issued. He was arrested, he will have a criminal record which no matter how hard he tries, will never be fully expunged and his reputation has been damaged forever. There's an old saying: "You can't unring a bell". He has a helluva good case here.
I do see some charges against the dealership personnel in the near future for falsely swearing out a complaint against him, too. As for why he was arrested when he had proof of his innocence? Unfortunately, that is not for the police to decide when they are issued a valid arrest warrant by a prosecutor. They do not have the discretion to decide whether to take someone into custody when they have the arrest warrant in hand. That is for the court to decide later. |

Once the charges has been dropped, or with drawn, there is no record of it here in Ontario Canada. Been though this. YES his reputation has been damaged but I do not think he'll have a record for a withdrawn arrest.

It's different down here. The arrest record will always be there.

It may not be a conviction, but it will follow him even with an expungement (sp). RichP

RichP </div></div> Yes and when you have a background check when ,say adopting a child, that false arrest WILL seriously impact if not derail an adoption. I have had three back ground checks done for just that reason and the question is "Have you ever been arrested?" It doesn't matter what you answer, they are going to check it anyway. If you answer "Yes, grand Theft Auto" your adoption has come to an end. Try explaining that one away to everyone involved and in several languages.
