To quote from the first article:

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

well they broke the wrong door, they are already in a defensive position legally

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.
