I live in Boise, Idaho. Recently, I was charged with wreckless driving, not by the officer, but by an issuing party which they had no grounds to do so. The issuing party was "tailgating and flashing their highbeams" and followed me for 10 miles, but yet claimed that it was me who was being wreckless.
I had a pre-trial with the Prosecuting Attorney who was handling my case, and I was told that he would call me to reschedule a new pre-trial since he did not have any information regarding the case. The Prosecuting Attorney quit shortly after I had met with him, which I missed the Trial by Jury and a bench warrant was issued for my arrest. I turned myself in, self arrest, and bonded out.
It is clear that this is a false acquisition, which I have hired an attorney, an ex-prosecutor for 15 years, to help resolve this matter. The attorney has advised me, after this matter is done, that I can file a suit against the issuing party in small claims court for a false acquisition and recover the cost and expenses that was occurred due to this citation.
My question is, does anyone know, besides the attorney cost and expenses that were occurred, what I can sue for and for how much? I was told that I can sue for pain and suffering because of the issues of this false acquisition, such as the self arrest due to the bench warrant, the time that I spend dealing with this matter, and other things as such.
I would never file a suit against anyone because it is something that I do not believe in. (i.e. I'm not sue happy unlike many people in the world today). However, I feel that the issuing party should be responsible for their own actions and I want to prevent it from happening to someone else that may be innocent, and by filing a civil suit, this is the only means that I can hold the issuing party responsible.
If someone could let me know, what else I could sue for and for how much, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm needing to know what my rights are as a victim because of this matter. Thank you.
