alt Hacker NewsBut what about the woman? Sure, she was fired for it, but surely it has to also be illegal?
And while federal crimes are legal now, couldn't it be against state law too?

police rarely face serious consequences for misconduct.

Of course it was illegal.
Who do you expect to charge the woman with a crime: the local prosecutors who are basically cop-adjacent, Georgia's attorney general who supports the lawless ICE, or a federal prosecutor working under the Trump administration?
I mean, maybe you'd like to do something about it via a civil lawsuit, at which point you ought to acquaint yourself with something called "qualified immunity."
Living in a police state is fun, right?
Police regularly slaughter those they swore to "protect and serve" and since they have qualified immunity nothing can ever happen to them. The purpose of a system is what it does.
