You are being charged with a crime; you will need to defend it with the facts. You probably need an attorney that knows how to do so, since you don't.
You can file a written complaint against the police, and if the provable facts show the violated your rights, you could bring a legal claim against them. Your word vs theirs is not going to win that case, you need corroborating evidence, like witnesses and documents to back up your allegations. If you have them, feel free to contact me. The police report is the first thing needed, as you will have to prove how it is false or in error.
