Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

My daughter was falsely arrested by the San Diego Sheriff' Dept. due to a clerical error. ( and jailed)

Her bail was $5000 which cost her $500.

She was cuffed in front of neighbors who most do not know it was an error. Reputation ?????

They admitted the mistake and dropped charges.

I think they owe her more than an apology.
