If I was unlawfully arrested, fingerprinted and had a mugshot taken when there was no necessity for this or reasonable suspicion, and I want to take the matter to the Victorian Police Professional Standards Command, what are the chances of getting something done? I understand this is just police investigating police so I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with them?
Just for the record, I didn't do anything the accuser accused me of and there's no evidence that I did because it never happened. It seems that this psycho can just make something up and I get arrested without any prior investigation.

It seems that the police were just trying to gain information advantage by arresting me and hoped to find something during the interview that they could use retrospectively to justify the arrest. They underestimated me.. Or, maybe they thought I could be taken advantage of.. Performance Stats?

No they didn't charge me or even say they were going to charge me. It all got marked No Offence Detected.

Depends.
Butthurt is not evidence. What else have you got?
what do you mean Butthurt??? Understand that there was no 'reasonable suspicion' and no 'necessity'. I've raised these two points because they're fundamental legal principles outlining when an arrest can be made. If I came to the station when asked, and there was no evidence against me, but they arrested me anyway to get an information advantage, then it seems that they did so to try to get something they could use to retrospectively justify the arrest. They have nothing, and the onus is on them.. Why do you ask me, "what else have you got"? I don't need evidence, they do.

In order to arrest me, they would need something that indicated to them that they had reasonable suspicion that I committed the so called crime. I didn't tell them anything about the crime because I didn't even know about it until the police contacted me. There wasn't a shred of evidence to justify the arrest.

Was that a serious answer?
