My question involves civil rights in the State of Ohio.

I can't seem to find a definitive answer on what the SOL is to bring suit in federal court against a police department and other liable officials for selective prosecution. Also, similarly but unrelated to the former, I'm seeking information on the SOL and venue for a wrongful arrest suit (no warrant was issued prior to the arrest, no probable cause existed when the person/defendant was arrested after a vague complaint was filed; meanwhile, the same complainant committed a violation of a protection order, where the former arrestee filed a complaint/report, with evidence/proof, yet that person was never arrested or charged). Also, the charges were later dismissed by the trial court as to the defendant via Rule 29 in the original arrest and jail time spent--i.e., the complainant lied and was disproven.

Please, no responses from posters with an agenda--I'm merely looking for objective input and I won't entertain responses from offended or defensive judges or attorneys who can't simply be objective. This stuff happens everywhere, all the time, and very few citizens are able to properly challenge the state on its b/s and see to it that officials are held responsible.
