CACI No. 1504
Former Criminal Proceeding—“Actively Involved” Explained
[Name of defendant] was “actively involved” in causing [name of plaintiff]
to be prosecuted [or in causing the continuation of the prosecution] if
after learning that there was no probable cause that [name of plaintiff]
had committed a crime, [he/she/ nonbinary pronoun] sought out the police
or prosecutorial authorities and falsely reported facts to them indicating
that [name of plaintiff] had committed a crime. Merely giving testimony
or responding to law enforcement inquiries is not active involvement.
