UNLAWFUL ARREST
You can sue the Minister of Police on the basis that it is wrong to deprive another person of his liberty without lawful authority, or in an unlawful manner, or to illegally arrest a person. This amounts in law to a false imprisonment, for which damages may be recovered in a court of law.
There may be reasons in law why you were arrested, but let us consider the merits of your case. Due to poor police training in South Africa it may be that you were unlawfully arrested, so pursue you case.
