I know there are issues with it, because small plaintiffs would mostly suffer it at the hands of extremely well-funded respondents, but I do wish there was some kind of automatic penalty for bringing such a outrageous suit. Like if the judge can´t stop laughing at you for being such an idiot, you get tarred and feathered in the courtroom and Afroman gets to use footage of that in a music video. Which I guess would be a particularly just punishment in this case.

Wouldn't this not be effective if it's an environment where it's a little bit more crooked? The fact lawyers on the police's side brought this lawsuit hints as to the possibility that there's more going on here and that they might win due to a favorable judge/etc

The difficulty with situations like this is when you have judges and lawyers who go along with it, which is a possibility. This is of course not counting the extreme cost to escalate it to appeal- or further if that fails. Or the time spent and having to deal with the damage, etc in the meanwhile. Per a Guardian Article he is losing gig opportunities due to the kidnapping charge on the warrant, even though it was unfounded- as an example of the damage continuing despite being false.

Others have mentioned how they took money from him(caught on camera), and didn't return it all ,and a independent news station was able to get them to recount it- but they still didn't return it all.

And ,we don't know what they did once they started shutting off all his cameras they could find(his own video with the footage shows this)-

Anti-SLAPP laws (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation). Ohio doesn't have one, as far as I can tell.

if court footage exists it would likely be public domain and he could...but many judges dislike their courts being recorded, unfortunately.
