Looking into the notions of "under color of law" redresses, and it seems there are plenty, depending on jurisdiction in which a complaint is brought.

"Malicious prosecution" is a real thing, and there are a number of sites noting options: 1) compensatory damages, 2) emotional distress damages, 3) punitive damages awards when the prosecution was "driven by spite or retribution," and 4) reputational damage. And more than one can apply.

But if a civil complaint is lodged, then individuals can be forced to testify or plead the fifth which would indicate a potential crime was involved. But when testimony is about someone other than yourself, the fifth would not apply. Were I a pro bono civil rights lawyer, I'd be salivating.

Does anyone have a meme that shows a guy asking what a meme is?

You must live under a rock since the invention of the internet. Or worked for the Biden DOJ.

The attached article explains the joke.

Talk about burying the lede. Thirteen paragraphs and no explanation of what the specific charges were, what were the actions that led to the charges etc. The reader has to look at the picture that accompanies the article to ascertain some idea of these essential facts.

Well, I’m probably much older than you, and I do not live in the internet culture.

That said, I’ve been a prosecutor and jurist in a large blue state for a combined 50+ years, and still practice, although only in business litigation.

I have never seen a prosecution like this one, and it’s inconceivable that any resulting conviction would merit any custody time.

Times have changed.

Thanks.
