Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening?

  Sure they will. Many prosecutors are so bombastically driven to succeed that they will prosecute a case they can win even if they know it is not justice because winning at all costs is the only thing that matters to some.

    Additionally, since prosecutors are an elected position in many places, they have a serious incentive in locking up as many people as they possibly can, if only because incarcerated people generally don’t make campaign ads.
