"In 2021, Whittier, , police arrested Victor Manuel Martinez Wario on an outstanding warrant related to a 2012 child molestation conviction. The only problem? Police had arrested the wrong person. However, despite Wario frequently telling police he didn't have any warrants out for his arrest, they didn't bother to check—leaving Wario imprisoned for five days.

Now, Wario is suing, claiming that police negligence amounted to a violation of his rights against unreasonable search and seizure."
