The only major issue I have with the judges ruling is this:
Why is all of her actions excused because an arrest was made in error? This includes her actions well after the event, as well as those during the arrest.
Also, if all of her actions are excused, why aren't all of his?
Canadian society needs to have a very serious discussion about this sort of dissonance.

If the arrest is illegal, then everything derived from it is null and void. Resisting an illegal arrest is also a duty of law abiding citizens (even if she didn't know at the time the arrest was illegal).
