Classic Police. Get the IP wrong. IP maps to one person's account. Arrest a different person at the same address. When asked, don't admit the reason for release until forced to do so many years later. Mistakes happen, but this is brilliantly compounding incompetence. Imagine a plane crash that goes: the left engine wasn't maintained, the pilot was drunk, and there was less fuel than there should have been. If you look back at the event, you don't conclude that those things followed from each other. They're probably independent. What that means is that less egregious failures are probably happening all the time. In this case, it probably means that this police department routinely arrests the wrong person after finding out which account belongs to a suspect. It also means that they routinely deny information of their wrongdoing. And it probably unsurprisingly means that they typo things all the time. I wonder what actions they took. It's not about firing people. It's about making sure policy doesn't lead to poor outcomes.
