A murder has extenuating circumstances, come on, a murder is an extremely more delicate and serious case!
And subject to the same laws as lesser offenses such as yours.
and in a murder there is an injured party, which means there was a crime commited.
A crime is also committed by an act or omission in violation of a statute for which there exists a penalty.
In CA the exact definition is found in PC 15:
A crime or public offense is an act committed or omitted in violation of a law that carries, upon conviction, any of the following punishments: death, imprisonment, fine, removal from office, or disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor or profit in this state.
I did not hurt anybody or steal from anybody so how can that be called justice?
Apparently you were accused of a dine-and-dash. The police were investigating, and the business rep. had the authority to place you under a private person's arrest and the officer(s) would be legally obligated to accept it.
If you also resisted the officers in some way, then that's your bad.
Police are suppose to be preventing crime, but now a days they instill fear into society! We no longer have to only watch out for rapist and murderers but police now too?
The police would love to prevent crime. Unfortunately, there are too few of them. So, more often than not, they are responding to reports of other crimes. Much of the time these other crimes are lesser affairs such as yours.
Now, all that being said, you are certainly free to hire an attorney and attempt to sue the police, the restaurant, or whomever you wish to try and get some compensation. Be prepared for attorneys to turn you down or ask for a lot of money up front, however, because even the attorneys know that all that is required for an arrest is the probable cause to believe a crime has been committed and that the person arrested has committed the crime. This is a pretty low standard to meet. And if you were booked into the jail, then a judge read and signed off on the officer's probable cause declaration, so that was the first hurdle passed.

The problem here was for one I never ate/ordered any food at the restaurant. And the people that dashed were not with us.
So, they were strangers sitting at the same table?
The officer told me to go speak to my friends (that were in my car waiting and they had paid for what they had ordered) and figure out how to pay for the bill. As I turned around to head to the car both officers jumped on me and cuffed me. I never resisted or argued. At that I point i stayed quiet. I didnt resist because I know that it will just make things worse and then they will have a justified reason to press charges!
Then if you feel the arrest or the force used was unjustified, you make a personnel complaint to the agency and start interviewing attorneys to see if they will take on your case. If they agree to take your case on a contingency fee basis, you may have something worth a couple of bucks (at least for the attorney). If they ask for a few thousand dollars up front, take that as a clue that your case may not be so good.
