Question

If I was arrested and there was no probable cause can I file suit against the arresting agency?

Answer

Yes, but how do you know there definitely was no probable cause? The arresting officer will come up with some explanation, even if parts of it are not true. You must first file a claim within 180 days of the incident with the public entity involved.
