the law relating to false imprisonment classifies affidavits, informations and indictments into "void" and "voidable." The "void" class includes those setting forth facts which in no conceivable form can constitute a criminal offense; or if they might constitute an offense, the court issuing the process had no jurisdiction over such offense or the person charged with the offense. The "voidable" class includes those where a bona fide attempt has been made to charge a possible offense under the statute, but by reason of some defect or irregularity such charge is per se insufficient in law. As to such "voidable" complaint, or "voidable" processes issued thereon there can be no false imprisonment per se.he law relating to false imprisonment classifies affidavits, informations and indictments into "void" and "voidable."
