When A Governmental Mistake Causes Loss

Who should pay in the following situation in which the government goofs and makes a false accusation?

The government accuses a citizen of a DUI, when all he has is a speech impediment and some fine-motor-skill difficulties (not major muscle movement problems, like steering). Then, due to the DUI charges, he incurs expenses for an impounded vehicle, loss of his driver’s license, and attorney’s fees, which are eventually cleared when the blood testing returns showing he is clean of all substances, as he claimed (to the cops) would be the case.
