I'm not 'siding with the authorities', I'm advocating fighting if you're innocent. Plea'ing out when you're innocent just encourages this sort of abuse. If everyone that remotely had the resources to fight charges actually fought them, this whole system would collapse on itself. Civil rights are only upheld when they're exercised. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You're implying that someone who didn't fight is presumably guilty, which is a perverse argument given the immense cost and general toll a legal defense can impose on a person. > If everyone that remotely had the resources to fight charges actually fought them, this whole system would collapse on itself. Yes, that is precisely why the system is stacked against the average person being able to fight the State on criminal charges, and it is very out of touch to imply that anyone that the State has convicted presumably deserved it for not putting up an effective defense. The system is working as intended on you and I hope you never find yourself on the wrong end of a criminal prosecution. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
