Qualified Immunity protects them from liability. Qualified immunity is a judicial doctrine created by the Supreme Court that shields state actors from liability for their misconduct, even when they break the law. Under this doctrine, government agents-including but not limited to police officers-can never be sued for violating someone’s civil rights, unless they violated “clearly established law.” While this is an amorphous, malleable standard, it generally requires civil rights plaintiffs to show not just a clear legal rule, but a prior case with functionally identical facts. A public official will receive qualified immunity unless they violated “clearly established law,” but this standard has nothing to do with whether the defendant was actually acting in good faith; all that matters is whether the facts in the case are sufficiently similar to the facts of prior decisions.

@@jerrybrooks870 Criminals lie about everything. Are you going to let somebody out of jail just because of some story they made up? Also, they never caught the other woman so why would they have her fingerprints?
@digitalcurrents , in Texas, you have to give fingerprints to get your drivers license. If the other person had a drivers license, then fingerprints are available. They could have also checked this woman's fingerprints and checked it against her information to find out if she was the same person as the one that the warrant was for. In the computer age, they can have this info in less than an hour. What she suffered through was a result of laziness and gross incompetence of the Broward County Sheriff's Department.
In surgery, a person is verified by their full name and date of birth several times before the surgery. Failures to meet standards and doing procedures on the wrong person are subject to malpractice actions and administrative actions. Governmental officials need to be held to the same standard. The same goes for contractors, roofers, anytime a house or property have work done.
Yes and they also come in prior to surgery to mark the patients surgical area to make sure they don't do surgery on the opposite extremity. They take many precautions because doctors are held liable for their actions. Police are not.
@@QG1168 What are you talking about? I lived under Communism before our family fled and eventually immigrated to the US. Only the Democrats are close to being masters. After all, Democrats were and still are the slave owners.
Can confirm, had 2 ear surgeries already this year, and more going to happen in the future. And every 5-10 minutes, while each new person was preparing me for the surgery, they constantly asked full name and date of birth, marking the ear being worked on, and asking what I was here for. That Police have no checks and balances, should be considered unconstitutional, it's inherently a violation of the constitutional rights of people, and out right can ruin lives, and cause thousands in damages. Not only should it be illegal, but if police fucked up, and sued, they should be forced to cover all costs and all lawyers. Even if they WIN they should be forced to cover everything, and ONLY if they win and the citizen found suing MALICIOUSLY, with no case and only suing to tie up the police and waste money, only THEN should that citizen be punished by being forced to pay their court costs and legal fees after being found in the wrong.

"DID NOTHING WRONG " ?! not checking out the OBVIOUS discrepancies between the warrant and the person you have in custody ? CAVITY SEARCH ?!...freezing air and loud music TORTURE ?!...this woman deserves MILLIONS and ALL these SADISTIC lawmen need to lose their jobs
The sheriff’s office did a poor job. I used to do warrant conformations. You are supposed to check the “identifiers” before you do any arrest. This shows that they don’t follow the rules regarding the procedures the warrant process.

"The Department put out a statement saying while they sympathize with her, the deputies did nothing wrong." It's insane how that's all that's ever said. Ever. Everytime. It's just a free pass to lawlessness and domestic terror while they laugh on camera doing it.
Its Broward County! Think about how many times you, as a person who probably isn't from florida, hears about their police issues. Even by American standards, Broward is bad. Its not just a corrupt county, its practically lawless. It is seriously at the level where the federal Government needs to step in. This is way out of hand.
If the departments would discipline people who make egregious errors instead of covering for them, they might learn to do things right, or be replaced by people who do things right.
Every time a department says that and gets sued, loses and has to pay out, every person on the IA report should also be charged with collusion, conspiracy to defraud and rackateering. If a judge says the cops were wrong IA should be charged.
they did nothing right, either. for everyone else, failing even slightly at a job gets you fired. for cops, failing spectacularly, repeatedly, gets them promoted.
The Broward County deputies observed and acted on the discrepancies in age, height, eye color and skin tone, and ESPECIALLY NOTICED THAT THE PHOTO DIDN'T MATCH THE SKIN TONE, thereby rendering the photo as wrong.
According to IJ, her brother, also an officer, asked both counties to compare her finger prints against the suspect's and they both refused. That shows Harris County did more than make a mistake, they refused to look at evidence proving they had put a warrant out on the wrong person. I hope she sues them too.
A clerical error is an easy fix. While it is unacceptable they do need to be held accountable, it was Broward (its ALWAYS Broward) who aggressively refused to do their due diligence.
"BROWARD COUNTY SHERIFF'S"...... the same Broward County COWARDS that stood down while 17 people were being slaughtered @ Parkland High School back in 2018..... is anyone surprised at their continued incompetence?
They ignored clear and obvious evidence that she was not the perp. If this stands, then cops have free reign to make a "mistake" and then arrest anyone on the basis of that. Charge him
And you can thank idiots on the Supreme Court for that. Someone sued the police after they were brutally assaulted on a NYC train right in front of a uniformed police officer, who did nothing to help. They said that the police did nothing wrong by just there and watching the violent crime happen instead of doing their job.
I'm happy to hear that the Institute for Justice is going directly after the sheriff employees and not the county. All these problems could be avoided if sheriff/police departments hired candidates with higher IQs.

You don't pay taxes if you are not earning income, lol. More like the police department pays a 200k fine the office owes 10% of that out of their pocket.
The department should have to pay the fees & penalties out of their budget and then have the budget frozen at that reduced amount for a period of NOT LESS THAN 10 years , NO adjustment for inflation.
Of course. If the arresting officers don't get a meaningful punishment, there's no incentive for them, or other officers, to change their behavior. It's funny how the system that punishes people for doing something wrong does not apply the same standards to itself.
Perhaps a big enough pay out will raise taxes enough to get that sherif un-elected the next time his office is up for vote. Probably not because people have short memories and are easily lied to.
The civil court judgements costs then get passed to taxpayers, politicians then blame the plaintiff for insisting upon enjoying their rights. Honestly, I'm starting to seriously agree with the second amendment remedies guys. When one solution is ineffective, one seeks other solutions.
@@ronaldhudson169 It wasn't the Sheriff, it was a Deputy Sheriff. It was the Christmas holidays. But hopefully the Sheriff changes procedures in his department after this.

@@PaulArtman he's been deployed to Japan, not an active warzone. So a nice all expenses paid trip to visit him there seems a logical part of the restitution.
This is a red flag, imo. If these cops refuse to question their own actions, they are probably very used to doing whatever they want without oversight.
The Deputy Sheriff in charge refused to listen to the others working this case. They were checking all the facts and told him none of her information matched but he refused to let her go. It was Christmas and he held her for 3 days before he finally released her.
If this woman was on a cruise and left the US, she would have been carrying her passport. She likely had a DL and credit cards too. Seems like the arresting department was simply lazy and did no further research…it was Christmas after all they had other things to do. Absurd situation
The arresting officers should have to spend Christmas in the same cell in same conditions, then be fired and not allowed to have a law enforcement job ever again. When the the prosecutor refuses to hold them accountable, he gets same cell and disbarred. When the civil court judge throws out the suit for QI, he gets the same cell and disbarred. That's what actual accountability would look like. Don't hold your breath, they will all protect each other, accountability is not a feature of our system.
The deliberateness to create a "torturous" environment for the people under their "care" creates a lack of empathy for the prisoners (everyone knows how awful it is to be cold and unable to get warm). The irony is, is that the situation isn't designed to affect the prisoners state of mind, its designed to affect the staffs state of mind. If a system can get you to do that to people without complaint, then you are the "Right Stuff" for the system. That is how the Authoritarian State works. It's always watching and testing those within the system. The system is designed to be a system of control. That's why its called "Authoritarian" or "Totalitarian".
The freezing cold is normal for prisons. Your comfort is not their concern. The music is unusual for the officers but normally the noise comes from the other prisoners and their tvs or radios.
It is the general attitude of LE these days, "oh, just take them to jail, we can sort it out later." that is unacceptable. This agency was holding a person with a different name, height, eye color and age than listed on the warrant. The devil with the picture, pictures can be manipulated. Common sense would tell you this is not verified and you let her go. Three days in jail and the agency just shrugs their shoulders like it's not a big deal. It is just a little mistake. No, it is gross incompetence and negligence on all agencies involved and change needs to be made. Courts need to recognize the gravity of the "mistake" and punish for it. How about a civil penalty where the agency doing the holding gets hit with a fine and the agency with the bad record keeping gets hit as well? Robbing someone of their liberty is a really big deal and needs to be held sacred.
Interesting how the guy who drove her to jail actually paused to look at the warrant, ask for her DOB, Look at the warrant again, and decided "Whatever, I dont care if it doesn't match, I got better things to do."
Wow, everybody is on this one. The problem is.................when you are in the hands of the law, the jeopardy risk is high. YOU are now under the hands of the arresting officer who may or may not be an asshole tyrant that ruffs you up and then treats you badly as this lady was. Then, as this lady found out, once you are in the jail, you are at the mercy of the idiots hired to be "jailers" who might be sadistic psychopaths, just as this lady found.
My son left the FDLA, and stopped working as a CO because many COs are in this job to mistreat those over wich they have authority. They enjoy tormenting the "AiCs", (Adults in custody) way too much!

Even though the person who attached the wrong photo to the warrant is not being sued, they should be fired. They are obviously not taking the job seriously and as seen, it needs to be.
I agree, but lets not distract us from the fact that Broward county agressively, blatantly refused to do due diligence even when it was right in their face. A cleric error is a huge problem, but its not even work mentioning when the other guys in the case are using methods of torture outlawed in war. It was sadistic, cruel, and deliberate.

Institute for Justice is taking this case because it is winnable and makes a difference. But the objective is not just to punish them for treating her as guilty, but to stop them from doing the same to those who ultimately plead guilty.

I was arrested on a warrant that had my exact name, this guys social security number was one digit different from mine and he had my same birth date except he was 2 years older. He had a warrant for failing to comply with VASAP. I got pulled over for speeding by a sheriffs deputy that refused to listen , he arrested me took me to the jail where he kept telling me I would be held until they came from the northern part of the state. Thankfully , the magistrate listened to my words and when I offered to have someone bring all my tax papers to show her I had never lived in Northern Virginia, her expression changed and I could tell she believed me. She RoR’ed me, the clown cop had served the warrant , so she couldn’t undo that, but she let me walk out of that place to go home. The cop turned 3 different shades of red when she started telling me she was allowing me to go home. When I had him in front of the magistrate where he could no longer scream at me when I ask a question. I ask him why couldn’t he just get this other guys mugshot and see with his own eyes it wasn’t me, he got up and left the room supposedly to try to do that , but he never returned. I had to go to court 5 hours away from my home to walk into court and get that warrant dismissed. It’s b.s. what they get by with.
Callous indifference to basic rights is the current standard of police practice. Closing ranks does not inspire confidence that anything will change in the foreseeable future. This is one aspect of the police war on the general public.
Why would they claim they did nothing wrong? Qualified immunity. We have to end the idea that cops are always hero’s and never should be held responsible for incompetence or wrong doing.
Why can't grown adults accept responsibility when they do something wrong? Nobody said it was deliberate. It was incompetence, and incompetence is not exculpatory.

@@ianbattles7290An apology would be an admission that they made a "mistake." Then, when people start looking at it, they'll realize that the "mistake" was actually a wanton disregard for the facts.

@@jerrybrooks870 Criminals lie about everything. Are you going to let somebody out of jail just because of some story they made up? Also, they never caught the other woman so why would they have her fingerprints?
@digitalcurrents , in Texas, you have to give fingerprints to get your drivers license. If the other person had a drivers license, then fingerprints are available. They could have also checked this woman's fingerprints and checked it against her information to find out if she was the same person as the one that the warrant was for. In the computer age, they can have this info in less than an hour. What she suffered through was a result of laziness and gross incompetence of the Broward County Sheriff's Department.
@@jerrybrooks870 obviously, she stole new fingers to replace her guilty ones and hide her identity. Just like she did with her age and face.
*ONE OF THE TRUTHS* I've learned in life, is that an inability to ever admit you're wrong is a sure sign of a fearful, fragile ego.

In surgery, a person is verified by their full name and date of birth several times before the surgery. Failures to meet standards and doing procedures on the wrong person are subject to malpractice actions and administrative actions.
Governmental officials need to be held to the same standard. The same goes for contractors, roofers, anytime a house or property have work done.
Yes and they also come in prior to surgery to mark the patients surgical area to make sure they don't do surgery on the opposite extremity. They take many precautions because doctors are held liable for their actions. Police are not.

Can confirm, had 2 ear surgeries already this year, and more going to happen in the future. And every 5-10 minutes, while each new person was preparing me for the surgery, they constantly asked full name and date of birth, marking the ear being worked on, and asking what I was here for.
That Police have no checks and balances, should be considered unconstitutional, it's inherently a violation of the constitutional rights of people, and out right can ruin lives, and cause thousands in damages. Not only should it be illegal, but if police fucked up, and sued, they should be forced to cover all costs and all lawyers. Even if they WIN they should be forced to cover everything, and ONLY if they win and the citizen found suing MALICIOUSLY, with no case and only suing to tie up the police and waste money, only THEN should that citizen be punished by being forced to pay their court costs and legal fees after being found in the wrong.
A prosecutor should be required to actually review the case and determine if it is "weak" or not prior to having a felony arrest warrant issued.

Its Broward County! Think about how many times you, as a person who probably isn't from florida, hears about their police issues. Even by American standards, Broward is bad. Its not just a corrupt county, its practically lawless. It is seriously at the level where the federal Government needs to step in. This is way out of hand.

@@russlehman2070 yes! Corrupt people will slip through and get it. You can't 100% guard from that, but you can act with urgency when they're revealed.

they did nothing right, either. for everyone else, failing even slightly at a job gets you fired. for cops, failing spectacularly, repeatedly, gets them promoted.
The person responsible for the photo needs immediately jailed
The powers that be take our freedom very lightly.
It's beyond me why they're not also suing Harris County also. If a person made a mistake in Harris county, they should also be held accountable.
The Broward County deputies observed and acted on the discrepancies in age, height, eye color and skin tone, and ESPECIALLY NOTICED THAT THE PHOTO DIDN'T MATCH THE SKIN TONE, thereby rendering the photo as wrong.
According to IJ, her brother, also an officer, asked both counties to compare her finger prints against the suspect's and they both refused. That shows Harris County did more than make a mistake, they refused to look at evidence proving they had put a warrant out on the wrong person. I hope she sues them too.
That is just as important as the other.
Yes, plus it's just good practice to bring everyone related to the wrongdoing into court as codefendants. This move surprised me most of all.
A clerical error is an easy fix. While it is unacceptable they do need to be held accountable, it was Broward (its ALWAYS Broward) who aggressively refused to do their due diligence.
Aren't warrants signed by judges? Hold the judge accountable. Sue to remove his/her immunity.

Most people who have their rights violated don't pay taxes.
Yup.. But how are you gonna pay back the $37 trillions your masters borrowed in your name?? 💵💵😄😄😄
You don't pay taxes if you are not earning income, lol. More like the police department pays a 200k fine the office owes 10% of that out of their pocket.
The department should have to pay the fees & penalties out of their budget and then have the budget frozen at that reduced amount for a period of NOT LESS THAN 10 years , NO adjustment for inflation.
As much as I support this woman getting compensation, it's foolish to think civil court judgments are going to fix this behavior.
Of course. If the arresting officers don't get a meaningful punishment, there's no incentive for them, or other officers, to change their behavior. It's funny how the system that punishes people for doing something wrong does not apply the same standards to itself.
Perhaps a big enough pay out will raise taxes enough to get that sherif un-elected the next time his office is up for vote. Probably not because people have short memories and are easily lied to.
The civil court judgements costs then get passed to taxpayers, politicians then blame the plaintiff for insisting upon enjoying their rights.

Why was the FL sheriff playing death murder music and freezing her out?
Punishment for being an abuser of children. The warrant was for child endangerment.
The deliberateness to create a "torturous" environment for the people under their "care" creates a lack of empathy for the prisoners (everyone knows how awful it is to be cold and unable to get warm). The irony is, is that the situation isn't designed to affect the prisoners state of mind, its designed to affect the staffs state of mind. If a system can get you to do that to people without complaint, then you are the "Right Stuff" for the system. That is how the Authoritarian State works. It's always watching and testing those within the system. The system is designed to be a system of control. That's why its called "Authoritarian" or "Totalitarian".
Why'd Milwaukee County sheriff kill someone with dehydration?
You expect some rational explanations for these sociopath's behaviour?
The freezing cold is normal for prisons. Your comfort is not their concern. The music is unusual for the officers but normally the noise comes from the other prisoners and their tvs or radios.
Meh, if they thought death metal music would be torture for me, they would be wrong. I used to go to Ozzfest every year. 😅
It is the general attitude of LE these days, "oh, just take them to jail, we can sort it out later." that is unacceptable. This agency was holding a person with a different name, height, eye color and age than listed on the warrant. The devil with the picture, pictures can be manipulated. Common sense would tell you this is not verified and you let her go. Three days in jail and the agency just shrugs their shoulders like it's not a big deal. It is just a little mistake. No, it is gross incompetence and negligence on all agencies involved and change needs to be made. Courts need to recognize the gravity of the "mistake" and punish for it. How about a civil penalty where the agency doing the holding gets hit with a fine and the agency with the bad record keeping gets hit as well? Robbing someone of their liberty is a really big deal and needs to be held sacred.
How can they say they did nothing wrong if they arrested the wrong person?? That’s insane
Right
Interesting how the guy who drove her to jail actually paused to look at the warrant, ask for her DOB, Look at the warrant again, and decided "Whatever, I dont care if it doesn't match, I got better things to do."
I'm sure they investigated themselves, so it's all legit
She needs to sue each and every agency involved for millions.

This is Broward county, the SHeriff already runs it.

Even though the person who attached the wrong photo to the warrant is not being sued, they should be fired. They are obviously not taking the job seriously and as seen, it needs to be.
I agree, but lets not distract us from the fact that Broward county agressively, blatantly refused to do due diligence even when it was right in their face. A cleric error is a huge problem, but its not even work mentioning when the other guys in the case are using methods of torture outlawed in war. It was sadistic, cruel, and deliberate.

Institute for Justice is taking this case because it is winnable and makes a difference. But the objective is not just to punish them for treating her as guilty, but to stop them from doing the same to those who ultimately plead guilty. And if it was me I’d be doing it to stop the torture of guilty people. Humiliation does more harm than reform and endangers the lives of police officers, too. Teaching people to hate you is a dangerous endeavor.
I wish someone would explain that to 45. 😢
Both departments are responsible, but 99 percent on the office in Texas, for being lazy when issueing the warrant.

I was arrested on a warrant that had my exact name, this guys social security number was one digit different from mine and he had my same birth date except he was 2 years older. He had a warrant for failing to comply with VASAP. I got pulled over for speeding by a sheriffs deputy that refused to listen , he arrested me took me to the jail where he kept telling me I would be held until they came from the northern part of the state. Thankfully , the magistrate listened to my words and when I offered to have someone bring all my tax papers to show her I had never lived in Northern Virginia, her expression changed and I could tell she believed me. She RoR’ed me, the clown cop had served the warrant , so she couldn’t undo that, but she let me walk out of that place to go home. The cop turned 3 different shades of red when she started telling me she was allowing me to go home. When I had him in front of the magistrate where he could no longer scream at me when I ask a question. I ask him why couldn’t he just get this other guys mugshot and see with his own eyes it wasn’t me, he got up and left the room supposedly to try to do that , but he never returned. I had to go to court 5 hours away from my home to walk into court and get that warrant dismissed. It’s b.s. what they get by with.
