Can I sue someone who falsely accused me of a crime?
A lady reported to the police that I was masturbating while driving in my jeep (not guilty). I was arrested when I pulled in the hardware store to pick up landscaping materials. The officer said she called and reported my license plate. The officer did ask her to come back by to ID me and she did
Went to court today and the case was dismissed due to lack of evidence and the lady literally changed her story 3 times! While in court I find out that she had access to my personal information: (Job, address, phone numbers, ect.) witch really pissed me off. Yet I did not know who she was until today.
I am thinking about a suing her for damage expenses (bail, lawyer cost, impound, ect )
Do I have a case? Or should I just cut my losses and move on?
I am very worried that she called and reported this incident to my job because I work with kids.
You might sue for defamation, emotional distress and, if you get in trouble with your job, lost pay. You might also press police charges against her for filing a false report.
But, if you pursue any of this, you do risk exposing yourself even more than you've already been. I'd probably hold off unless and until you get flack from your job or your neighbors since until then you might have a hard time proving that you actually suffered any injury.
