My question involves civil rights in the State of: AR/VA
I have read under the Fourth Amendment, persons have the right not to be arrested without probable cause.
If a felony arrest then occurs and a judge writes on the felony arrest record that the charges are nolle prossed and that that it was done so for "For good cause- No probable cause possible for stopped payment check. Matter can only be civil. There is no crime in VA for stopping payment on a check." Then signed by judge.
Is this a violation.
No police were not involved in this matter, the warrant was issued based on the accusation of a private citizen. The check was stamped STOP PAY but the charge was 18.2-181 VA. And says with intent to defraud, make, draw, utter or deliver a check knowing that there were insufficient funds in the account of insufficient credit with such banking institution for payment of the check, draft or order.
A rent check was written for future rents, landlord told tenants to leave, tenants said no problem and we will stop pay on funds for future rents. Stop pay was issued, notice of stop pay was mailed by certified mail return receipt. Person waited 6 days after notice of stop pay and deposited the check anyway then when it came back as stop pay claimed it was a worthless check to magistrate. Felony warrant issued for insufficient funds.
Now there is a record of felony arrest for larceny, on a person who has had no other arrests other then a drunk in public 20+ years ago in college.
