To quote from the first article: "In this day and age, people have to apologize, but as soon as you apologize, you put yourself in a defensive position legally," Officer Hal Dalton, city police spokesman, said after a media conference. No one's trying to be intentionally sinister here, unless you count the attorneys who helped create such an atmosphere.
Lawyer jokes always welcomed! :p

Yes but not necessarily to the maximum extent of legal liability.
Mistken identity arrests and actions happen all the time. This is a non-event. What bothers me is that one cannot give the courtesy of a civilized apology because it might affect you in a court of law. That's what's very wrong here.
