> the person dusturbed the operation

Did they? The article says it's unclear as to their intent.

> Authorities did not specify if the man had intentionally sent the photo to authorities during their search or simply shared it online.

Intent or not, it did disturb as it misslead. And .. how can one imagine not disturb a search, when posting a wrong location?

[stronglikedan]

Intent or not, disturbing the search or not, it's silly that the authorities would arrest a civilian because of their own incompetence.

[baranul]

That's the true core of the story. Was the man truly trying to mislead authorities or is it more about authorities using the man as a scapegoat to hide their incompetence.

[lukan]

They were searching for a wolf. (Not really a standard task)

They don't have total surveillance, so also rely on public information

- a citicien posts information about the location of the wolf, a picture!

- authorities adopt their search based on that picture

Where is the incompetence here?

[yongjik]

I swear, some commenters here think "the government is incompetent" is an axiom and work backward from there to fill in the details.

[amenhotep]

Everyone involved in this including the police are civilians

[computerfriend]

Civilians get arrested for incompetence all the time.
