Thank you for your posting.

You certainly can bring a claim for civil false imprisonment, violation of rights, and other civil wrongs, but these cases are difficult to win and may be subject to the government claims statute.

I hope that this information helps, but if you want more information, have further questions, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. It's my pleasure to assist you in any way that I can.
