If the officer ACTUALLY ADMITTED to lying on the report, then you might have something useful to work with. Otherwise this starts as the classic domestic dispute where parties want to sue everyone that doesnt go thier way, and as such you will likely spend a great deal of money on legal fees simply railing against the system but to little effect. If you had a crimnal defense lawyer involved - the best bet is to apporach them about such issues or possible a referal to a civil trial or civil rights lawyer. ... Read Answer
