Handcuffed in front of her home on a Thursday morning last February, leaving her crying children with her fiancΓ©, Ms. Woodruff was taken to the #Detroit Detention Center. She said she was held for 11 hours, questioned about a crime she said she had no knowledge of, and had her iPhone seized to be searched for #evidence.

What happened to good old police work? Today, it seems, without a second thought, the cops arrest anyone if their name just pops off a computer screen.
