re: #210 Liberty Hedgehog (fka Freedom Alligator)

Under this law you cannot actually even detain a person without a probable cause - and he was detained. Again, the lead investigator also thought there was a probable cause. It’s meddling from the higher-ups that prevented the arrest. He could be arrested even under SYG.

He could be detained, he couldn’t be arrested. And he couldn’t be detained very long, else a lawyer would have argued that it counted as “criminal prosecution” when the cops had yet to disprove his claim of “self-defense.”
