This guy sounds like complete scum, but my question is....how can "supposedly" these ppl get let off (I only say supposedly because I just saw this on a reddit post for the first time today). I went through a nasty divorce and still can feel the cavity search done from the judicial system. I have literally no trust in either criminal or probate/family courts in our country anymore.

Religion was the perfect loophole apparently.

I should have played that card during the divorce too! Didn't need much help since the ex wife lost her mind. But still, ridiculous loophole.

I was arrested once and still sometimes feel the handcuffs. I had to argue in court to change my name to what my mom orginally wanted because they thought I might be doing it to distance myself from the case where I was found not guilty.

Seems like predictable judicial logic. It's outrageous that you almost need a lawyer to decifer the rediculousness of a system we created so many years ago. Any layman should be able to sufficiently advocate for themselves...but they can't anymore.

More messed up. I was trying to change my name from the anglicized version to the more classical Hebrew version. It changed my six letter name to an 8 letter one with 5 of them being unchanged.

When I was arrested my dad took 10k from my savings account and handed to a criminal defense lawyer... Yaaay my down payment on land in NH was spent because an officer had an idea.

I had a Sargeant of our local PD Trump charges on me in the form of a felony. Never went to trial, got dismissed at the clerk magistrate hearing. The cop got completely annihilated. My fees were only 1500, but still. It's so stupid we can't counter charge cops for fucking with our lives.

I was given an oui while parked on a private road. I could have been fucking drunk as hell driving on that road and it's still not illegal. You have to be intoxicated, driving on a public way and the police need probably cause to pull you over for that charge. I was sober and parked. My lawyer objected every single time the officer said they pulled me over

Malicious prosecution should be grounds for a civil suit. At the very least you deserve reimbursement for your legal fees.

At the very least I can't afford to do that and I'd just be taking tax payfunds without doing anything to the officer that caused the issue

My ex goes out of her way to make the arresting officer feel small. More than once she has rebuffed him at bars in that town because "I can't see your bulge in those skinny jeans, how would it be fun?" She doesn't even like big o dicks because most guys with them just slam her cervix thinking they are doing awesome. She also has asked him a few times at the bar when he wants to get a real job.

She doesn't like me. She kinda hates me.
