False Imprisonment

False imprisonment is a legal term for when someone is confined or restrained against their will without legal justification. This can occur when a person is physically held, blocked from leaving, or tricked into staying in a place. The key aspect is that the individual did not consent to the confinement and there was no lawful reason for it, such as a police arrest made with proper authority. False imprisonment is considered a crime against a person because it violates their freedom and personal liberty.
