A mum and dad who were detained by police after complaining about their daughter’s school on WhatsApp, have said they feel ‘vindicated’ after the force agreed to pay them £20,000 in compensation.
Speaking to Sky News, Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine tell their side of the story.
A spokesperson for Hertfordshire Constabulary told Sky News on Monday: "Whilst there are no issues of misconduct involving any officer in relation to this matter, Hertfordshire Constabulary has accepted liability solely on the basis that the legal test around necessity of arrest was not met in this instance.
"Therefore, Mr Allen and Ms Levine were wrongfully arrested and detained in January 2025. It would be inappropriate to make further comment at this stage."
