A: I'm sorry to hear about your experience. If you're considering suing the deputy, it's important to consult with a legal professional who can evaluate the specifics of your case and advise you on the best course of action. They can help determine if there were any violations of your rights during the arrest and subsequent interactions.

Regarding the phrase "yielded negative results," this typically means that the deputy did not find any evidence or items she was searching for during her visit. She might have been looking for specific information, evidence related to the case, or other materials pertinent to the investigation. Without more details, it's hard to say exactly what her intentions were.

It's also concerning that the deputy turned off her camera and allegedly pressured your wife. Documenting all interactions and gathering any available evidence can be helpful when discussing your situation with a legal expert. They can guide you on the best steps to take to address any misconduct and protect your rights moving forward.
