Calling for arrest, before the evidence calls for an arrest is a call for mob justice.

An arrest is a serious step.

Um, yes and no. Normally, arrests are made on probable cause. They are serious steps, but the evidence needed does not have to be of sufficient level for charges to be brought.

However, Florida law in this case specifically states that an arrest without subsequent conviction allows the person arrested to bring civil suit against the police to recover any and all expenses caused by the arrest.
