They made you sign the paper because after going round and round with the Asst. DA or whatever they could not charge you and have it hold up in court. The paper you signed will most likely make it so that you can not seek any civil action against the department. You should have called or demanded they provide you with a public defender / lawyer. If you would not have signed your rights away maybe you could have sued the department for wrongful imprisonment or something. That's the only reason I can think they would keep you for a few days and then make you sign a paper saying that you were only detained! Detained for a few days and not allowed to go about your business to me is equal to being arrested! Sounds like a real shitty situation your room dog got you into.
