You know something, you get off. The prosecutor has another agenda, you get off. You know the right person, you get off.

Going after someone that legitimately tried to do something good "in the name of the law" is an abuse of power and goes against any shred of common sense. There was no malice. No ill intent. And the "guilty party" resolved the situation when informed of the law. No harm was done.
