Plus, they were just following orders, and happened to find that her papers were not in order while doing so...
I detect a bit of /s despite lack of a tag.
Based on what I read, the deputies were completely professional & upstanding.
We’ve all read about worse encounters. The approached her without guns drawn to ask her about the car that matched one being reported stolen. Basic police work. To be clear, I do not support such pullovers without clear probable cause. If they did not have it, that should be actionable as well but not mentioned in reports.
County employees and lousy court staff (plus a pathetic Judge for putting his signature to such a non-specific bench warrant) are all to blame, not the deputies here. And despite her experience in jail (as reported), certainly not the Sheriff’s Dept. unless they held her past when she should otherwise have been released.
Most of us never have anything to worry about in such encounters with Sheriff’s Deputies. But it’s a hard lesson in ensuring you’re actually ‘cleared’ after paying a fine, etc. Myself, without elaborating, I am 100% sure I have nothing to worry about.
The wake-up call is, “Are others 100% sure???”
(that government bureaucrats/clerks did their job)
