What we need is a lawyer or two to file suit after winning such cases against the officer making the arrest, the department he works for and the city/state that allowed legislation that allowed this arrest.
It seems to me that the arrest and following pursecutuon of the man is an obvious violation of his civil rights. This should be done EVERY time a case is lost by THE GOVERNMENT because it IS a violation of those rights.....and is decided by the courts to be so. this should be punishable criminally as well as civil wise.
It also needs to allow procecution of not only the agencies, but the individuals involved. There should be no such thing as "acting in good faith" because as LEO's are fond of telling civilians....."Ignorance of the law is no excuse".
It should cost you to be stupid.....or deliberately criminal.
