You may have a civil right claims against the law enforcement agency that arrested you. I would suggest that you contact an experienced civil rights attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your arrest. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

See an attorney but you are going to have an issue with sovereign immunity. There may be no recovery available, defending on the details and circumstances.
