Runways To Ruin
Despite loss of liberty, the action was well worth it, taking up much of the publicity for the event with the truth about climate change, rather than the planned establishment lies.
As the final act of political repression, the participants were told, on camera, by a police inspector, that if they ever crossed a particular roundabout again they would be arrested for aggravated trespass!
The police state is here.

An easy place to start is Irwin Mitchell (hopefully spelt right) which is a national-scale solicitors firm with expertise in suing the police (amongst other things).
Sadly, before you can sue the police you need to wait until the criminal proceedings against you have been completed. It may be worth contacting a solicitor sooner rather than later though as they can advise you as to what could potentially be of importance later.
In the past there have been a number of groups offering advice on legal matters to activists. I don't know which ones are currently active and which ones not thuogh. Perhaps someone else does.
p.s. even if the details are a bit sketchy, it sounds like a great action.
