>>> Ever since then, every detail that has emerged has shown the judicial system from the cops on up in a very poor light. Be it incompetence or corruption I do not see justice being done here and I am glad someone’s lawyer is starting to push back. <<<
It looks to me like the very cynical manipulation of a JP by the police and DA.
But then I probably don’t understand the subtle legal nuances of violating civil and constitutional rights.
The JP (and all the other judges), the police and the DA are all on the same team. There is no manipulation.

The legal system is strongly biased in favor of the state in every step of the process, excepting trial. Most of the "legal nuances" express the various reasons that people wrongly accused aren't entitled to any remedy.
I will not be surprised if this incident is used to craft a new legal doctrine that justifies mass false arrest.
