Search Results: being an individual

First of all, let me preface that I hate police officers with the utmost fervour. So if you want to give me the "it's their job, they are good guys, if you have problem with the law, it's on you" bullshit, sit the fuck down, and zip it. In fact just to show how fair the police is - I will delete comments I don't like, if I have a "suspicion" that your comment doesn't conform to the policies of the website. Sounds about right, doesn't it?

So with that out of the way, my problem is this - there are countless cases of (mostly US) police "officers" (I use quotation marks because the most these people are capable of doing in an office is clean the toilet) falsely arresting someone, dragging them through the mud, humiliating them, holding them in custody (a funny word - it means "the protective care or guardianship of someone or something" while you can actually be raped or shanked in a country jail, not to mention have your reputation ruined) for 24 without any reason (and then they can release you, and arrest you again with any bullshit excuse).
This has gotten people fired on numerous cases for simply missing a workday, and bails often wreck people financially.

Usually after these debacles the police, even if they find the actual culprit, will never give any kind of compensation to the falsely arrested, humiliated and wronged individual, and in fact will treat that person as a discarded, used tissue paper - throw it away, "Be glad we don't charge you with something".

Of course if you dare complain, even explain your situation, that you are being falsely arrested, that you weren't even there, etc - instead of investigating, you'll get your face planted on the concrete, tossed into a police car like a criminal, and if you arrest, even shot.

Thus my question is - SHOULD THE POLICE COMPENSATE THE VICTIM IN THE CASE OF FALSE ARREST, AND IF SO, IN WHAT MANNER?
