Are you saying it was wrong for charges to be brought because of the threat? It should have been disregarded because it involved a child kidnapping?

What if the police had the wrong man, is it still ok to threaten? What if it wasnt a child kidnapping but some other crime? Still ok to threaten?

Slippy slope there isnt it. As i understand from Wikipedia Germany got a human rights caution and he was awarded 3k for emotional damages.
