Thank God for Earl!

Frightening.
What a nightmare! Poor lady.
I hope she gets a good lawyer to sue the police dept. I know I would.
Sad thing is the cop who did this doesn’t give two flips about it.
Some heads should roll. This woman should be compensated with their pensions.
For those who don’t know - Jackson County is on the Mississippi Gulf Coast by the Alabama line.
Can ANYBODY read Kafka? This is government run amok, assuming minimal evidence to be sufficient for (temporary) imprisonment. Habeas Corpus is downgraded to appearance of an arrest warrant match. Computer systems are used to match minimal information as a pretext to imprisonment in a very poor process of STUPID identification. Yet, God Forbid, we miss a match to a later terrorist attack, the people making a reasoned choice will b absolutely pilloried!
Hmmm I forgot, why are we supposed to trust the Police?
Time to lawyer up. Big time!
Happened to my son in Idaho, only not as bad. His father-in-law was a county prosecutor... They did haul him off the the jail tough.
Surprised it hasn’t happened to me since he is a Jr.
In the many decades before I was married, I had a woman pretending to be my wife, open up checking and credit card accounts using my last name, address & phone number.
It went on for over a year of me explaining to DA’s and creditors that no such person existed....fortunately over the phone.
The real person who was the subject of the warrant failed to show up on a theft charge. This should indicate that the woman was, at some time prior, arrested, booked, FINGERPRINTED, and then somehow released.
The article seems to suggest that it is possible to be arrested in one state and EXTRADITED to another state without a fingerprint verification of identity?
If I were on a civil jury hearing the case of the unjustified extradition of this woman, I would be extremely generous in rewarding her for her pain and suffering and very severe in punishing those responsible for maintaining and carrying-out such negligent policies.
I might also consider rewarding the plaintiff with damages against the lawyers who evidently failed to get a court order in a timely fashion to do a fingerprint identification.
If you just follow the law, you have nothing to worry about...
