"This situation with the flour could have been settled within a few hours if justice were being served.

It was. It tested positive. Justice was served, and served quickly.

It just so happens that it was a false positive. The results were in error. A mistake was made. No one is claiming it was intentional.

But my point is that all off this cold have been avoided if she was wasn't so ignorant. I am saying she bears some, if not most, of the responsibility for what happened to her.

So when the state unintentionally and harmfully errs, out of ignorance, that's just fine. Lock an innocent citizen away in jail on half a million dollars bail for three weeks, mulligan!

But when the citizen unintentionally and harmlessly errs, out of ignorance, she was "acting stupidly", bears "most of the responsibility", and being locked in a cage for a couple weeks is justice being served.

That's scary.

So what should happen? What would be just?
