And sometimes, you just tuk your tail between your legs and forget about these sort of things......ESPECIALLY IF YOU GROW...
They know your face/name/info/car, stir shit w/police and all it will take is a blown light on car for them to "harass" you. If they never pressed charges and I was growing at that time, I'd take it as a lesson learned and leave it at that

Hmm, well I bet there really was a warrant showing up on their computer and thats why you were arrested. Id bet you money this is how it played out:
1. You visit friend, neighbor (asshole) calls police
2. Cop pulls up, runs your license plate, gets your name (its registered to you, I assume)
3. Warrant pops up, cop already knows before you step outside that he is taking you in.
4. Asks to search your car for weapons and all that, again, because he knows he is taking you in.
5. He asks for ID to confirm you are the registered owner with the warrant
6. Cop takes you into custody, the PD researchs the warrant, discovers the mistake then releases you. You never hear anything else.
Bottom line, if the warrant did show up in the system it isnt the cops fault. He was doing his job and since you actually got released without anything further thats your proof they figured it out. Let it go....and like someone else said, if you grow you dont want any additional attention. Oh, and cops generally have limited immunity from lawsuits in cases like this because the was just following his job duties. Its not like he just decided to arrest you when no warrant really existed. You can bet on that.

well if the cop thought you had a warrant then he did have probably cause to search you, so while he may not have been nice, its not necessarily true that he violated the law. The DA's office probably never filed charges because sine the warrant was taken care of then there was a chance the charges would be thrown out and they didn't want to waste their time on it.
Wait wait wait. Your story seems to be changing....or at least getting a lot more detailed.
So are you saying that the cop wanted to search you and the car, you refused, so he arrested you claiming a fake warrant was outstanding for your arrest, thus giving him search rights? Is that what you are saying happened??
Were these pills part of the "care package" you dropped off or did you just have the pills on you when the cop blocked you in? It wasnt your car and you were just a passenger and they didnt search her? Why were they asking for *your* permission to search *her* car? You were arrested with a bunch of pills but not charged with the possession? Btw, if they found the drugs on you then the arrest was legal. The search tactic may not have been but the arrest was. This story seems really odd to me. And realistically yes, you should let it go because no one on the "other side" is going to side with you on this. I wasnt there but I do think the arrest had merit. Feel lucky you arent looking at a possession (or worse, trafficing) charge for the pills where you have to prove to a judge/jury that the search was illegal.

The cops harrassed you and called you "loser" all night?All the times I've been locked up I've never seen/heard of that kind of behavior,its a good way to lose your job quick.And remind me to stay the hell outta your neighborhood,my neighbors would have either informed me I left my lights on or turned them off themselves,they probably wouldn't have called the police lol.And if they had,the officer wouldv'e either laughed or got pissed about a call for lights being left on in a car lol,did you make this crap up bro?Just sounds a little ridiculous to me this morning,forgive me if'n it's true and you live in hell lol

I read a story that had similar circumstances. A guy with a grow-op went on vacation while a buddy tended to the crop. The buddy parked in front of house with lights on. Neighbor sees car with lights on for extended period of time and house front door open, calls police. Cops arrive and bust the buddy in the house with hundreds of plants.
But why was he asking *you* for permission to search your *girlfriend's* car? Why wasnt he talking to your girlfriend since the car isnt yours? Now remember, a cop can pat you down for weapons and it's not a "search". If you had a big pocket full of pills and he felt them during a pat down, he can ask you what it is and if it's not something you want to pull out in front of the cop then that trips his reasonable suspicion.
Anyway, I think we are beating a dead horse on this. Just feel fortunate that you werent charged with the pills, and consider that nobody will feel too bad for you (meaning the people in the gov't that you are complaining to) since you *did* have illegal items on you. There are a lot of places in the US where you would have quickly been booked and charged with numerous felonies and all this would be a moot point.

You were unlucky dude. Fight it and you'll get nothing but a headache, wasted time and effort, stress, and a lawyer bill.
Cops get away with murder often, why wouldn't they get away from investigating a repeat offender? specially if you said no to him searching your car, he found bud, and used the warrant as a reason to take you down. Do you really think he'd take you down if he knew he'd get in trouble? It's your choice tho, I'd let it go...

Dude, calling us spineless and cops and shit like that won't get you very far. We just arent telling you what you want to hear! Its your life, go file a willy-nilly lawsuit if you want to. You dont need our permission to do it.
Having said that, you are on a site for *marijuana growers* and you are surprised when a bunch of *marijuana growers* advocate NOT stirring the pot with LEOs?
Im still amazed that you are pissed off about spending a few hours in jail after being found with a bunch of pills and not getting charged. Then you want to sue them for basically doing you a FAVOR by not nailing your balls to the wall on the pills??? I'd be thanking my lucky stars I wasnt looking at felony charges for the pills and a possible raid on my house.
Also keep in mind that they have a statute of limitations to charge you. If you go pissing them off they may just charge you after all for leverage. You wont know until cops show up at 4am to haul you to jail 2 months down the road.

Wait, so were you ever formally charged and arraigned on anything? Any pending court dates?
Hell, the shift commander could have just reviewed the officer's report and told him that his search was illegal and would never hold up in court and to drop the case. That is your get out of jail free card. Overall the situation sucks but life is about equilibrium and karma....give and take, within the system. Especially if you grow! You take by growing illegal plants without LEO's permission and you give by letting stuff like this slide, in the interest of the greater good. And by greater good I mean you personally AND everyone else that cop happens to cross later.

You need to just call a lawyer...
He'll tell you if you can pursue this.
Bu thonestly even if you can pursue this what is stopping the cop from lieing and just saying you gave him permission to search??
Your word vs. his.
guess who wins

LOL! Ballastman, you piggy.
Stress kills.... cops do this shit daily and get away with it. By ruffling your feathers, it gives them satisfaction. They want you to be stressed and paranoid...and walk away defeated. What are you going to tell the judge? "My warrant was payed off and the cop took me down 'cause he hates me?"
Please bro, just step outside yourself and analize the sitch.LOL
Peace
