Re: "Effectively just being arrested resulted in a $3K fine"
"administrative costs, rather than costs of prosecution, and therefore do not violate due process when imposed on a defendant who has been acquitted."
That is just so wrong, and the sad thing is, they think it's right. In a civilised system, you simply cannot impose "administrative charges" on someone found not guilty. If the state mistakenly arrests someone without enough evidence, it';s on the state to pay for it, not the "not guilty" defendant.
It's not as if it's not happened here in the UK either, sadly.
