After the arrest, I was transported to a police station. There I was hand-cuffed behind my back. I was in this position for approx. half day. After being released, I went to emergency complaining of swelling and lack of mobility in both my wrists. Can I be compensated for such a treatment?

it will depends upon your crime record or if this is considered cruel and unusual punishment, battery, or false imprisonment. consult with your attorney.
