This is one of N reasons (where N is large and increasing exponentially) why respect for bureaucrats no longer exists.
Whoever issued the arrest warrant (whether deserved or not) should be fired, tarred, feathered, and dropped into the nearest lava pit.
All too often, beaurocrats are mindless monsters, insensate droids which humm on, powered by tax dollars scammed and extorted from the public.
In some cases, beaurocrats try to buck the system, like the County Clerk in that County in New York which was served with a records request by Gannett for the names and addresses of gun owners in that County and he refused to release said information.
SOMEWHERE in the Indiana Division of Natural Resources, there MUST be SOMEBODY with a FUNCTIONING BRAIN!!!
