"If a legal system in a red state is this dysfunctional, you can't simply hide away in a blue state with better-run systems."

These sorts of abuses or dysfunction are rampant in all states. I can't think of a single state that actually has a good system (properly staffed, no overreach, etc).

Yes but it only gets worse as you go to red states which are “tough on crime”. Which basically just means they put as many people in prison as humanly possible, and for as long as possible.

New Hampshire is pretty great. That may be due to them having some of the lowest crime rates in the country to begin with.
