Sad to see that we are still slaves of our own inventions. Hierarchy, laws and rules are supposed to be there to protect us, yet some still choose to blindly follow those, sitting high up in that hierarchy, spewing out new rules and laws that only benefit them selves, no matter what... No capability to bend the rules for the common good.
I guess, money can buy anything after all.

That, by law, is exactly what that was - along with unlawful imprisonment and a host of other civil violations.
Two key elements are common to all charges of kidnapping. First, the asportation or detention must be unlawful. Under various state and federal statutes, only two asportations constitute kidnapping: Police officers may arrest and jail a person they suspect of a crime, and parents are allowed to reasonably restrict and control the movement of their children.
Second, some aggravating circumstance must accompany the restraint or asportation. This can be a demand for money; a demand for anything of value; an attempt to affect a function of government (ie:do to another person what is only legally done by police or other government officials); an attempt to inflict injury on the abductee; an attempt to terrorize a third party; or an attempt to commit a felony.
False Imprisonment:
To prevail under a false imprisonment claim, a plaintiff must prove: (1) willful detention; (2) without consent; and (3) without authority of law.(Restatement of the Law, Second, Torts)

There's really no way to know if they quietly entered the bank.
Let's see a video of the altercation from start to finish.
I fail to understand what you are saying. I don't see how it is appropriate in any conceivable way to do what was done to that woman. If she was going to be arrested then arrest her, that was kidnapping in every sense of the word.
Who do the police work for again?
