[@skylercook1812]

i would go out on a limb and say it is in fact not negligence, and that its just LEO being criminals. Every LEO involved should be charged with kidnapping and false imprisonment and perjury. Their job is very well described step by step for them in writing, and their behavior is definitely more criminal and dangerous then just plain negligence, on top of the fact their job does not allow for negligence or people will lose their lives. hold those in power accountable for their actions the same way they hold you accountable for yours.

[@nicksmith4924]

[@gorilladisco9108]

The replacement will be more likely to be of the same quality. Instead, law must be made to make police officer's assets liable to pay for the damages they do and their defense attorney. Of course, if (and only if) jury exonerate them, then it will be reimbursed by taxpayers. It will incentivize police officers to not screw around with somebody's rights.

[@ianbattles7290]

Our legal system is completely incompetent *and most people don't realize it until they experience it for themselves.*

[@QuattroSG]

Back the blue people are clowns, the cops don’t care about us in the slightest. When things go seriously wrong you’re on your own, they go home to take care of themselves over the community this situation has played out in our country many times.

[@jackhammer078jack4]

WTF. I would sue the LAPD and ask the officers to give them there badges to her directly.

[@jackhammer078jack4]

LAPD needs to hire competent people. With all the technology at their hands and still do things wrong. Makes the competent cops look like fools.

[@TheRisskee]

@@jackhammer078jack4 I was born and raised less than 2 hours to the north from LA. Still live here, on my way out of CA. I can confidently say there isn't a chance they'll hire a completely competent force. Not with the mayor they have. There are really amazing officers on the force down there but the lefties are making their quota of punks that skew the intelligence scale. (I'm neither on the right nor the left. I'm independent) I'm 32 and a millennial but as such, I can also say that hiring millennials with very little life experience is what's causing the biggest problem. They encounter things they've never seen or heard of before and act in a reactionary manner instead of having experience to draw from. It makes them very dangerous. Unfortunately, this is a problem the entire country has. Contrary to popular belief, there are still "good ol' boys" amongst the millenial population. I'd consider myself one of them despite the fact that I'm a woman. We are few and far between but the older millennials who paid attention and appreciated history in a wide array of forms are usually the ones who have their heads squarely on their shoulders. Unfortunately, we have the curse of spotting those who don't and it's disconcerting knowing our peers are so detached from reality. Especially when they're on the police force. I grew up around the elderly and older population and I had the great fortune of drawing from their experiences and learning from it. Others of my generation weren't as fortunate and it's not really their fault but their environment and/or family unit dynamics. Not all had parents who cared if they gleaned knowledge of those who came before them. I grew up watching TV Land, listening to Karen Carpenter, and making my own toys out of sticks and pieces of string in the great outdoors and trying to dig to china and it was magical. (My grandma's only request was that I fill in the hole when I was done. Haha) Many of my generation didn't have these experiences and it stunted them. Occupying yourself with only what's available to you can do much more than keep you from being bored. (If I ever said I was bored to anyone in my family, I'd find myself chopping weeds on the farm or out back so I never dared say I was bored) It teaches you reasoning skills. Skills that might have made me ask to see the picture of the woman the TSA arrested compared to the picture of the person for which the warrant was issued. If those didn't match up, I would have asked to look at the birthdates. This is so simple yet, it was missed. Could me digging a hole to China in my youth have prevented this woman from being falsely imprisoned? I have absolutely no idea. All I can say is that there are many youth how have been deprived of real life experience and it doesn't do them or anyone they encounter any favors. I sat down and taught myself guitar starting at 8 because I was taught to be self disciplined and if I asked to do something, I had to promise to stick with it because we didn't have the money for me to jump hobbies every 3 months. Self discipline is lacking in my generation and entitlement is at it's all time high and there are far too few people willing to hold people accountable who abuse their positions of power. I grieve for the next generations because the people who are meant to teach them are already lost. I can't get to all but I realize it's my responsibility to reach those I can which is why I've spent half my life in youth ministry. I had amazing mentors who in turn taught me to mentor by example and I'm doing the best I can. I feel I fall short quite often but all I can do is try. One of my kids graduated high school with the ambition of going into law enforcement and I couldn't be more proud. He's a wonderful boy who's turned into a wonderful man and he's engaged to be married. I've gotten to see him thrive and be a true gentleman and it's been a great privilege. All we can so is share what we can, do our best, pass on what we can, and be patient. If we do all that right, we might just see balance in the next generation. As for the police force, all we can do is pray.

[@waj7766]

@@TheRisskee I was born and raised in the generation you described and experienced the richness of mentors- in my immediate family, church, school and community. The word ‘bored’ was not allowed in any of these spheres- you were given something to do and had to see the task to its completion. Life in the Caribbean allowed for us to be schooled in critical thinking. Respecting people and practicing good manners was the norm. You weren’t allowed to whine and be rescued from situations with instant solutions. Delayed gratification allowed us to build muscle and gain strength for productive lives and future problem solving. You’re correct- all we can do is to be good mentors to this generation. We’re tasked with the same responsibilities of our long gone mentors. With God’s grace and with courage, may we not fail them.

The LAPD however I don't hold to much fault in the beginning because when a warrant is issued and carried out for arrest the local department arrest and carries out the booking and processing.

Qualify immunity, look it up. It isn't a matter of training or smarts. It's just a lack of caring. Qualify immunity makes it where legal officers can't get ding for almost anything. This is in the land of the free btw. The same land that has civil forfeiture (CF) and implement domain (ID). CF lets cops literally steal anything from you legally if they THINK it COULD HAVE BEEN used in a crime at some point. It's impossible to prove or disprove what they think, and this heavily has been used. What happens is the local station gets a massive kickback when the stuff is sold off. This is to include stealing someone's house, car, clothes, or raw money. ID is what lets the gov steal your home if they think the land it is on could be better use for whatever. They don't really even need to prove it, or make it that way. There is a crap ton of cases where ID is used, the house is dealt with, and for 10+ years it's an empty lot.

She was jailed for three days and it took two years for the courts to clear her of any wrong doing and not one of the officers involved were ever punished for their actions.

All they had to do was check to make sure she was the right person. They weren’t doing their job. I hope she wins this case but also laws need to be in place to make sure police double and even triple check everything to make sure they have the right person or this can happen again. Her life was disrupted. People could lose their jobs, their place of living, animals if they have them, children if they have them, being locked up for two weeks. What if she had no friends or other family to call and she had children to take care of or a pet to feed….this could have been so much worse…it’s bad enough she lost her grandmother because of the stress. I hope she wins big.

[@ES11777]

[@ghostdragon5758]

They didn't even single check, her social security number, her date of birth, or the mug shot.

I’n 2022 there are two things people need to realize to better society. Police are idiots and corrupt. There are no good apples, the entire system is corrupt. Two: Democrat policies fail constantly and hurt citizens. If you don’t know either of these then you are probably dumb or brainwashed.

She lost her lawsuit. The judge claimed the city has immunity based on earlier "Lopez" case precedent - "In Lopez, the California Court of Appeal affirmed judgment for the defendants on claims like Farber's, based on the first two immunity statutes above, Civil Code section 43.55 and Penal Code section 847. 207 Cal.App.3d at 5. Lopez was arrested and detained several times on a warrant not meant for him because the warrant matched Lopez's full name, date of birth, address, and physical description." This is a completely corrupt ruling since none of the conditions of the "Lopez" case applied. The two women had different middle initials, different dates of birth, different addresses, and did not look similar.

[@23whatsleft]

Exactly !

[@tobitsdogcasenerd]

I just finished reading the opinion of the federal district court and qualified immunity was never mentioned as to the individual officers and cities don’t have immunity from suit. All claims were resolved on the merits. The federal district court found no constitutional violations and did not resolve any claim on the basis of any type of immunity.

[@tobitsdogcasenerd]

The _Lopez_ case was a criminal case. Qualified immunity is for civil actions.

[@tobitsdogcasenerd]

The information in the warrant matched her perfectly. The police in Texas actually used her information in the warrant. {Here, the Warrant contained Farber's first, middle and last names; date of birth; address; driver's license number; hair color; eye color; and height and weight. It thus satisfied the Fourth Amendment's particularity requirement.} _-Farber v. City of Los Angeles,_ Dist. Court, CD California 2023

As someone who has been falsely accused of a crime myself, I feel for her. The trauma and fear of feeling like you’ll be arrested at any second stays with you.

[@cristina4436]

Wow! Sorry you went through that as well!

[@pookiesis1465]

I remember having a warrant out for my arrest in the early 2000,s because someone used my name ( I now know who did it) when they were pulled over. The problem? I have never,even now,driven a car. Ever.

[@lawyerreactsnotthemoon85]

Brandon Mayfield was falsely accused and arrested on something called a Material Witness Warrant? Right after 9/11. The FBI fingerprint software coughed up 15 names declared "Non Match". FBI chose to bulldoze this lawyer into jail because they didn't read their own computer software result page?????? And, The Spainish Police Crime Lab refused to change their analysis of the alleged "match". FBI flew to Spain in a failed attempt to coerce Spain's cooperation (changing their analysis to fit The FBI's dubious reasoning)????

I remember another incident where the woman gave her name but they couldn't find her then she gave her other last name since she's Hispanic and has two last names and they lost it because how can someone have two last names lol I have two last names and its not both my parents combining them lol

[@willcastle2371]

TSA arrested her with no authority and gave custody to local police. She has to sue both of them. Federal and State will pay a big price. I hope she doesn’t go only for money, she better go chase does pensions.

What a horrible way to lose a grandmother.

TSA is negligent time and time again when it comes to this... last time I flew, I was in tears because of a simple oversight that almost made me miss my flight. Sucks the industry is so callous and negligent, so say the least.

Could have asked for 113m and been within her rights but asked for 2.5m They set a precedent at $6000 per minute for keeping you extra at a traffic stop 13 days adds up...

Justice would be to sue the police union rather than lapd

[@dan...dandan...]

I really hope she would win in court. The fact that her grandmother died of stroke because her granddaughter was wrongfully arrested is just heartbreaking. All of this can be avoided by simple identity check but the cops was too lazy to do it. I can only imagine how many people are still in prison or how they live their live with a criminal record because they are wrongfully arrested.
