Shoyoye v County of Los Angeles 203 Cal.App.4th 947 (2/4) (2012) Shoyoye lawfully arrested but, due to a paperwork snafu, held 16 days too long. Jail employees treated his pleas with indifference, but no evidence of any threats, intimidation, coercion, etc., although in fear of other inmates. Judgment for CC § 52.1 (Bane Act), false imprisonment and attorney fees. Partially reversed. San-Diego-Auto-Accident-lawyer [1] Bane Act addresses more egregious constitutional right violations than negligence. At worst, jailers were rude, but under no duty to be polite. No evidence Shoyoye treated differently than other inmates. Attorney fee award coupled to Bane Act also reversed. [2] Evidence showed false imprisonment, and no different damages for Bane Act, so damages affirmed. San Diego personal injury attorney
