Yes but a judge issued the warrant in the first place.
replyCops did not do a proper investigation and the judge green-lighted it.

The judge likely issued the warrant based on the detective’s sworn testimony. In most cases, a judge does not have the ability or detailed knowledge to independently verify whether the detective completed all necessary checks.
replyThis situation likely resulted from either sloppy investigative work or an honest mistake: the detective believed her booking photo matched the individual captured on camera.

There's a screenshot from a security camera with the _actual_ suspect in the article that was posted to HN last week.

replyEspecially considering the judge is the only person involved in this who is completely immune from being sued.
