You should contact an attorney ASAP. In order to protect your right to sue, you are required to file a Notice of Claim with the proper entity within 90 days of the arrest in order to preserve your State law claim (as oppossed to your federal law civil rights claims). I am a former federal and State prosecutor and now handle these cases so please feel free to check out my web site and contact me if you wish to discuss your case.
