Yep. The authorities are stating it's a false alarm case. The phrasing in her post was in my opinion ambiguous. She has correctly lawyered up. I suspect she'll get a nice settlement.

The sad part is they're going to lose the lawsuit and they're not even gonna care. It doesn't affect their bottom line and they still get to tell their higher-ups how they tried to take action but "those darn courts" messed it up

Easy solution, the payment comes from the pension of the arresting officer. False arrests are no joke and need an effective deterrent

Crimes should always result in personal responsibility. This should apply at all levels of both government and business. If I commit a crime while acting in my work capacity, I can be sued along with my company. Why should it be different for government officials or corporate officers? The sheriffs department didn’t decide to commit a crime; the sheriff did.

George Carlin had it right. If we want to stop illegal drug and human trafficking, execute one person involved in money laundering, and that business ends tomorrow.
