Metro Councilman John Delgado said Sheriff Sid Gautreaux owed an apology to the men arrested and the entire parish.
Delgado said he will file public records requests to determine when the district attorney's office told the sheriff's office that the men targeted had committed no crime.
"You cannot simply hide behind not knowing that the law had been changed by the U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2003," Delgado said in email to the sheriff's office. "The sheriff's actions are a violation of the civil rights of these men under the 5th and 14th Amendments.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse ... Doesn't your office tell people that all the time?"


Did someone stand up for himself after all those years? "But, Judge, I did not know"
Double standard in this case is discovered. lets see what they do.

And for those of you who are upset about the conduct of the victims, keep your bigotry to yourself, we have all heard it before and it's boring.
