1 ANSWER
Two things that are important to note:
1. What you feel you entitled to and what the court could award you are two very very different things.
2. There is literally no way to answer whether or not you have a cause of action for false arrest with the facts above.
Just because you won your case does not mean you have a civil rights claim for false arrest. I am not trying to say you don't either. There are attorneys who specialize in this kind of work. You need to contact one of them quickly because there are time limits on filings these types of cases.
