Your terminology is a bit confusing, to start with. You say a TRO was issued on June 21. You don't say who issued the TRO. You then say family court dismissed the TRO. Why would you go to family courts to address that and why do you believe they had jurisdiction over the matter? If the TRO was issued by a municipal courts based on a pending criminal action against you, that is whom must deal with dismissing it.

After that you say the some court summoned you to appear where you did and some, so far undefined criminal charges were dismissed (so far that is the first time you mentioned you were ever charged with anything). You don't say what the charges dismissed were.

Then you are subsequently arrested based on events from
tbe night of June 21. You don't say what charges they were for either.

While it's possible the arrest was based on a warrant not purged from the system, based on what you said it could just as easily be based on chaerges not having been filed before sept 21.

The fact you were never booked prior to oct 21, it sounds like the warrant was based on charges that had not previously been filed.

Beyond that, an arrest such as you experienced, even if based on a warrant that simply was not purged, is not usuallly a basis for a civil action on the arrestees part. The courts understand mistakes are sometimes made and they often result in the actions being forgiven. Basically as long as the arresting officer had a valid basis to act based on what information he was provided, it wouldn't allow for any action on your part.
TRO was filed by ex and in NJ the TRO is handled by the family court- in NJ when a person is requesting and granted a TRO criminal charges are often filed with it, those are handled in municipal court or superior court depending on the charges and they are handled separately from the TRO. TRO's are granted simply on the word of the person making the allegations. Shortly after the TRO is granted a FRO hearing is set and then the defendant is allowed to defend themselves. The TRO in my case was dismissed, because the allegations were proven to be unsubstantiated. The municipal charges dismissed on September 20th are the same charges filed June 21, the #'s on my arrest warrant I received last night and the dismissal document both match. I was never notified that there was a outstanding warrant at any time during any of the court preceding's. How is there a warrant out for my arrest and no one notifies me even after I appear in court twice for the charges associated with the warrant? The charges are dismissed and then I am subsequently arrested. Then once I provide proof of the dismissal I am still processed and booked and held until my bail is posted. I have never been arrested in my life before last night, So for anyone to say mistakes happen is outrageous and now I have an arrest record, mug shot and my fingerprints are in the system. I was pulled over October 21st for air fresheners hanging from my rear view mirror, I was not charged with anything or written any tickets in that matter.
