The thing that happened to "all that stuff" is called the War on Drugs. It blended in to pretty seamlessly into the War on Terror. The word "routinely" might be contentious, because we have almost no numbers on it and the law has a way of making things "true" despite reality, but the kind of court you're referring to is just called a court. You might google the Innocence Project, if you're interested in this sort of thing.
