Her mother said she was going to”teach her a lesson” because of the people she was hanging out with ( her lesbian partner, etc,) . But now it is the cops fault = lawsuit.

You won’t hear about the pot they found in her car or her lesbian partner on Nancy Grace , etc.

It’s always interesting to just game out what action the critics would have taken. If, as reported, there was a disturbance at the scene, citing and releasing would make no sense because the fight could just start again. If she had no ID, citing and releasing would be stupid because you’d have no assurance she was who she claimed to be. If, as reported, she was intoxicated, you wouldn’t want to let her get in her car and drive off. So what’s the alternative? Take her to the station, get her ID’d properly, cite her, then release her from custody O.R. That’s what they did. Normally, you’d tell her she could stay until her ride arrived, and they did.

Some of the second guessers wanted her detained even though she wanted to leave. She didn’t meet the mental hold guidelines, so you’d be holding someone in custody just because in your opinion she shouldn’t leave on her own. Wait’ll a lawyer got ahold of that!
