On Monday, CBC Toronto broke the story of Emily Nield, who was stopped in Cook County. When Nield showed her driver's licence to the police officer, she was arrested for driving with an Ontario licence. That's something the Cook County Sheriff's Office denied. "Georgia law states that any individual who is arrested on a non-warrant is entitled to a first appearance hearing to be advised of their rights and bond within 48 hours of arrest." 'Citizens will be treated with respect and dignity'Three days after her arrest, the county solicitor agreed that her charges should be dismissed.
