The following arrest scenarios can present viable Actions Against the Police claims for false imprisonment:

• Unlawful arrest – absence of necessity (eg you were arrested upon attendance at the police station for a voluntary interview)
• Unlawful arrest – police error re bail conditions
• Unlawful arrest – on the basis of a warrant that had already been executed
• Unlawful detention – Detention at the police station on the basis of a warrant that was backed for bail (ie you should have been arrested and bailed out of the police station, rather than detained and taken to court)
