Of course that legal action will take the next decade or so.... It would likely get upheld in Hawaii and at the District Court, and then they'd have to rely on the Supreme Court not only to hear the case, but to rule in their favor....

The database is one thing.
The other is the action they take based on an arrest in another state.
