Law is the organization of state violence. You just have an antiquated view of the law, that no longer applies to reality.
Under democrat Biden, DHS jailed and detained me for 24 hours all while stating I was "not under arrest" and no probable cause that I had committed any crime. After they had finished, they retroactively got a warrant, to cover their ass, writing what was essentially 100% fabricated, claiming a completely (non-existent) unnamed dog told a completely unnamed officer that told yet another officer that I had drugs (thus impossible to ever cross-examine it in court the origin of their claim).
EDIT: Your were lucky. Disappearance without judicative oversight is no outcome of regular law enforcement. Watch this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zkgNnbTrsgw
