    I’m confused.

    The prosecutor had already dropped the charges. Was this a Civil suit by the parolee against the sheriff and deputy? What is the actual outcome here other than “yeah, they totally weren’t allowed to do that. Glad that’s cleared up, let’s go grab lunch.”?

      Yup, civil suit. Which cops typically have “qualified immunity” from, meaning quick dismissal.
