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?

  Still bullshit you have to probably pay court and lawyer fees and waste however much time it takes to be detained and in and out of court.

  If you’re poor you’re fucked either way. “oh after many stressful months they said I am innocent! As a prize, I owe anywhere from several hundred to several thousands of dollars to the state and/or my lawyer, just because this one jacakss cop was in a bad mood one day and didn’t like my face, or the car I drove, or the way I wore my clothes, etc.”

    I have lost all faith or confidence in justice existing within this system. It is incompatible with the possibility of what you described.

  While true, cops should have basic competence and not waste the courts time and the defendant’s money.

  So this is just to feed lawyers?
