Strange, If you think a local prosecutor in the U.S. would take up this case to court then you missed the ride on the Durham (NC) Railroad.
Most prosecutors here are gun shy now (pun intended) over getting involved in some police fiasco they can get run over with.
This is likely: IF the cops took this to the prosecutor, the first thing he is going to do is want to talk to and read statements from the state troopers. That would be a problem because their supervisor is going to tell them to steer clear of this and not get drawn into this and thus that department. The prosecutor is going to go back to these guys and say apologize and make this go away, now!
You did understand it was in America and not Britain? Think about it the next time yo go to vote for your local prosecutor. (Or does the Crown doesn't extend you that privilege?)
