Work Forced Me To Sign A False Statement
I was fired from work for apparently stealing? They forced me to sign a statement saying I did what can i do? They held me in the office for over two hours and wouldn’t let me make any phone calls or leave without signing the statement. They threatened me with pressing charges, the police, and being arrested. They refused to give me a copy of the statement I signed and they refused to show me any videos or proof that I was stealing. What should I do now?

It is shocking that this kind of thing happens in the workplace. I do not understand how some people can live with themselves when they do this sort of thing to other people.

Read this about false imprisonment. False imprisonment often involves the use of physical force, but such force is not required. The threat of force or arrest, or a belief on the part of the person being restrained that force will be used, is sufficient. The restraint can also be imposed by physical barriers or through unreasonable duress imposed on the person being restrained. For example, suppose a shopper is in a room with a security guard, who is questioning her about items she may have taken from the store. If the guard makes statements leading the shopper to believe that she could face arrest if she attempts to leave, the shopper may have a reasonable belief that she is being restrained from leaving, even if no actual force or physical barriers are being used to restrain her. The shopper, depending on the other facts of the case, may therefore have a claim for false imprisonment. False imprisonment has thus sometimes been found in situations where a storekeeper detained an individual to investigate whether the individual shoplifted merchandise.
