Man Arrested for Accepting a Good Deal at Car Deal

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

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.


I would like to read the actual signed written statements made by the employees and used by the prosecutor/grandjury when issuing the arrest warrant.

Perjury is a serious charge... especially when it leads to a false arrest.

You are absolutely right. Those false statements under oath are going to bite them on the ass. Big time. They will be great evidence in the civil case (the money lawsuit).

There's an old saying: &quot;You can't unring a bell&quot;. 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.

I do not see the customer having a &quot;criminal record&quot; with only being arrested? 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 YES his reputation has been damaged but I do not think he'll have a record for a withdrawn arrest. </div></div>

Correct, here in the USA he will always have an 'arrest' on his record. It may not be a conviction, but it will follow him even with an expungement (sp).

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 &quot;Have you ever been arrested?&quot; It doesn't matter what you answer, they are going to check it anyway. If you answer &quot;Yes, grand Theft Auto&quot; your adoption has come to an end. Try explaining that one away to everyone involved and in several languages.
