I am currently in florida and i was recently arrested for drawing on a slide with sharpie and charged with criminal mischef for under 200 dollars, but i believe the police officer broke the law. after he came and questioned my and my friend he searched us and found some sharpies, because we had the sharpies he charged us with ALL the graffiti in the park when we had done two things. he then proceeded to cuff us and put us in the car after which he called our parents and the property management group. he SAID the property manage group said to make an example of us and wanted to press charges and was EXTREMELY rude to my parents and my friends sister who came there and would not tell them anything. they procceded to arrest us take us to an assesment center and such where they questioned us further and kept us there over night. after we left they got us to agree to go to a course which waived our rights to go to court and my parents agreed. now here comes the part that we believes makes him a criminal both mine and my friend parents are good friends with the people who own the management group, so we called them. we spoke to the owner who told us that they had said to the police DO NOT PROSECUTE THEM and DO NOT ARREST THEM and we DO NOT WANT TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THEM just bring them home and let there parents handle it. so that means that the officer lied to us and arrested us even though the management group did not want to press charges. should we sue or what should we do?
