What does false imprisonment mean?:
well strike the 3rd answer down dude.false imprisonment is something that happens more than you think especially in states that do not have discovery laws .and in my opinon they do not have those laws for the simple reason they want to be able to railroad the poor and innocent and "falsely Imprison"them.The southern states ars real good about that.
as long as there is no discoverly then the prosecution can hide facts that downright prove the charged person is innocent.And yes they knowingly do this just to embellish their conviction record to help futher their careers down the road and the part that kills me is not only are these low lifes still able to sleep but,the Law lets them get away with it and when it is,(years later usually)discovered there is nothing the innocent person can do to get back the freedom that was taken from him.
