What? She wasn't arrested for the decal-

She had a warrant out on her. Where is the wrongful arrest? A judge issued a warrant against her.
The warrant being wrong? This ain't rocket science dude.
Wow. You don't understand what "wrongful arrest" means. The woman had a warrant
for her arrest issued against her. It doesn't matter if the warrant is wrong, or if she's not guilty of the charge. The police, once becoming aware of the warrant issued against her, arrested her. That's is a lawful arrest, she had a freaking warrant against her. It would have been unlawful if the police
didn't arrest her!
Tell me, if you have a warrant out for your arrest and you are arrested by the police, where is the unlawful arrest in that scenario?
Ya'll be silly mo fo's.
She hasn't been nor does it appear likely she'll be charged for the offensive decal on her vehicle, so that's a non issue. The article even says she's been pulled over in the past and wasn't ticketed for the decal or arrested for the decal. It wasn't until she had a warrant issued against her that she got arrested, a warrant for alleged fraud. I'm not seeing a connection between an offensive decal on her vehicle and her alleged fraud.
Now a law lesson for you morons, you can't sue the police for an unlawful arrest unless you are arrested without probable cause or without a warrant issued against you. If you have a warrant issued against you there is no way, no how you can ever win a false arrest case against the police. The police won't even have to invoke qualified immunity in this case if the facts are as the article states, since the woman had a warrant issued against her.
Just because you are a Trump hater doesn't mean you aren't subject to the same laws as everyone else. Arrest warrants mean you get arrested on the spot by the police.
