Malicious prosecution violates both New Jersey State law and Federal law.

In order to to bring a case for malicious prosecution one must show that

• They were previously prosecuted for a criminal offense
• Which was instigated without probable cause
• With malice
• Pursuant to a valid charging document
• Which terminated favorably to the individual
• The individual has suffered or incurred damages

An example of a malicious prosecution is where the police brutalize an individual and then in an effort to cover up their own criminality charge that individual with resisting arrest or assaulting a police officer when in fact no such activity ever took place.
