Probable cause isn't "pushed button multiple times" it is "silent alarm was triggered and this guy is on the only guy in the building".
If US is doing stupid shit then US is doing stupid shit. What else can we expect a third world country to do? In civilized world you are processed yes, but since you are just arrested and not accused you will just be held until the pre-investigation has concluded

- jaywalk 5y agoIn the US, what you're talking about is referred to as "detainment" which is very different from an arrest. I think that's where a lot of the confusion is coming from.

We can criticise the largest economy in the world as much as we want inside a browser developed mostly in the US on infrastructure (the internet) whose large parts were developed in the US talking on a website created and owned by a US based company investing capital in one of the largest tech markets in the world (the valley). That said - the fact they have police/healthcare/tuition problems does not in fact make it a third-world county. A developing country ("third world") is typically one with low human development index (HDI) (the US is "very high"). Low economic output (the US is the largest economy) etc.
