If a metro transit bus driver wrongfully accuses you of being disruptive and locks you in the bus isit illegal

would this be a violation of my civil rights? do i have a case against the transit bus council, the driver, or both?

This is a bit difficult to answer without knowing all of the facts, but I really can't imagine a legitimate reason for a bus driver to lock someone in a bus unless lives are in danger. Even then, the driver had better have some very solid evidence to back up the claim - including but not limited to eyewitnesses.

Without a legitimate reason, not only is it a violation of civil rights, it is false imprisonment - a criminal charge as well as the basis for a civil action.

For some reason, I do not believe you are telling the WHOLE TRUTH!!!

I have a feeling YOU were probably being disruptive and the driver warned you and you kept doing it. Then, the driver probably called the police on you and you wanted to leave, but the driver did not allow you to leave until the police arrived, which is considered a citizen's arrest. Am I right?

Once the police came, they probably just warned you and did not arrest you. I am also sure there was plenty of witnesses to say you were disruptive.

If I am completely wrong and you were NOT disruptive at ALL, then yes, you can sue anyone for any reason, but what PHYSICAL proof do you have??? In order to win, you have to have physical proof and lastly, there was NO damages, so really, you would not "win" money or anything!

Something tells me your not telling the whole story. Oh sure. That would be illegal unless you deserved it. If you put yourself in this position, you probably deserved it. There is no call for even being in a spot to be accused of this on public transportation in the first place. The driver only has to say he was protecting himself and/or others. A judge would probably laugh you out of court. Or fine you worse. Just look at your avatar... so much anger.

A bus driver is not a police officer. He can't just lock you in the bus like this. It's called "unlawful imprisonment"

Don't bother suing the bus company, you won't win. Just call the police and report that the driver was imprisoning you illegally.

lol i never heard of this..
