Actually, I would say that if the police detain anyone and it doesn't result in a conviction, the police should have to pay the victim $5.15/hour for every hour they were detained, or however much money being detained cost the person (for example if it prevented them from going to work that day), whichever is more.True, but they still probably have to appear in court and pay court costs...which to me is fuckin stupid. If you have to appear in court and do not get convicted of anything, you should not have to pay court costs.
