You can sue for false arrest / detention and sometimes these cases pay off big but the key word here is 'false'. If they followed the proper procedures they are free to ruin your life and there isn't really squat all you can legally do about it. You need to consult with an attorney familiar with suing law enforcement agencies and also with civil rights violations to see if you have a case. Best of luck to you!
