In the US, we have clear distinction between local/state and federal jurisdictions. So false arrest will be a local charge, not a federal one. Further local prosecutors are paid with local taxes, so won't have the resources that the federal prosecutors have. Further, 20 wrongful arrests are each 1 count in 20 different localities. I wish more courts would allow rocket dockets to plow through the cases. Very rarely in these cases are there questions of law actually involved. Mostly it's procedural delays. The longer you can delay the better your chance the other side gives up -- so you don't actually have to argue the merits of your case.
