Betty Horton lives in Cleveland. She is a law-abiding citizen with no criminal charges against her. Ever. Unfortunately for her, there is another woman named Bettie Horton who is wanted for several warrants. So, Betty, the legal one, gets arrested three times in eight months. What's worse is the police don't seem to be that upset about it, and the article implies that there's nothing Betty can do about it. We're living in a nation of laws (and lawyers) ... doesn't she have some sort of standing to sue the police for continually arresting her for nothin?
