What would have been wrong with simply picking up the woman for questioning?

Good question.

she was suspected of making anonymous online threats

How do the police know for sure that she was the one making threats? Could it be some hackers testing out their skills at getting other people's computers to do stuff remotely?

The FBI later arrested Derrick Murray, a suspected local gang leader who lived nearby in his mother’s house and was using his smartphone to access the Milan's unsecured wireless network.

Didn't read this until after I had posted.

Dang, I am good!

Yes, I saw your second post. But the truth is, pigs don’t even care. To them, screw ups like this doesn’t matter. It isn’t them, or theirs. We’re just statistics to them, not people, citizens, or who they are supposed to be serving.

That lack of concern for causing harm to innocent people is one of the reasons I have zero respect for LE anymore, and openly rooted for Dorner.
