Establishing Liability
Wrongful arrest claims under the Fourth Amendment require proving the officer lacked probable cause at the time of arrest. Probable cause exists when the facts and circumstances known to the officer would lead a reasonable person to believe a crime was committed. Dispatches, incident reports, body camera footage, and witness statements can demonstrate the absence of probable cause. The officer subjective motivation for the arrest may also be relevant when retaliatory arrest is alleged.
Relevant Texas Law
Wrongful arrest claims are brought under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 for Fourth Amendment violations, with the Texas two year personal injury statute of limitations applying. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 14.01 governs warrantless arrests and requires that the offense occur within the officer presence or that the officer have sufficient cause to believe a felony has been committed. Municipal liability for patterns of wrongful arrests requires evidence of policy, custom, or deliberately indifferent training under Monell v. Department of Social Services.
