In
April of 1980 the cops arrested and jail a man on burglary based on
"positive ID’ by the housemaid. The
accused man hired a private detective who had the housemaid, a non-English
speaking Asian, swear out a statement that she never spoke to police, and
certainly didn’t give them a positive ID of anyone. The arresting cops were not charged with
false arrest nor reprimanded although one was "counseled" on being
argumentative with the falsely accused citizen on the night of the arrest.
