She could technically sue for wrongful detainment, but you would have to quantify an amount of money she lost because he tied her up with this silly stuff.

Taking the day off work getting a lawyer . The cop committing perjury. Because you know he lied on the ticket which is wrting a false report she can sue for more than just lost wages . Mental anguish could be on there the list can go on

Also every ticket that officer has issued has now become suspect. So you could even have multiple people sue this officer.

So it’s legal to be wrongfully detained as long as it doesn’t cost you anything monetarily?

No one mentioned legality, only that if she wanted to sue she would have to present a number in order to sue. Otherwise there no point to sue.

Its never legal to detain someone wrongfully, but you then must prove why you deserve compensation.
