Unfortunately a cop can arrest you for any reason he wants, whether or not the state will file formal charges is another story.

If the evidence is as weak as you say we may be able to prevent the state from filing charges, or have them file charges with a lower degree or crime.

Feel free to give me a ring if you would like to chat further, I handle cases in Dade county.

i actually just defended a case just likw this in miami. for the most part with these credit card cases the police usually don't have probable cause to search or arrest the person for thses charges. i would definately need to know more facts but in miami i can usually depend on the cops to screw up. if you would like to talk further you can contact me 24/7.
