The statute of limitations in a false arrest section 1983 suit, according to the majority, runs not from the "time of detention" but from the time the police detention <b>ends</b> and the arrested person comes into judically sanctioned custody ordered by a court. Probably not a difference of more than a day or two, but still (at least formally) a different time. I think you slightly misstated the holding in Wallace v Kato, Lyle.
