ONLY if it can be proven later the charges were made up and filed with malice.

Criminally, a Prosecutor won't touch it with a 30 foot pole unless the evidence comes to light that there is NO question this is the case.

Civily, I have never heard of such a case! Police enjoy qualified immunity from lawsuits, so this burden must be overcome in a court of law. Mere aquittal is by NO means enough.

Interesting topic though BE.
Let me try to think of an example...

Ok, let say a innocent man is arrested for robbery. The man insist he's innocent, but the police refuse to listen. When he goes to trial the jury learns he had a alibi for that night, which results in the jury voting to acquit. Does he have the right to file kidnapping charges on the arresting officer?

If he don't, why not? If he was innocent he should have the right to file charges for being locked against his will, right?
