The title says "wrongful arrest" which is not accurate, since the police computer says to pick up that person - it's just the arrest of the wrong person.
A wrongful arrest is more like an arrest with no warrant and no evidence - like walking down the street and refusing to answer questions or show ID to a police officer who is attempting to infringe your civil liberties.
