Umm, kemiller2002 perfectly described the justice system of the good ole US of A. Once a prosecutor wants to get you, they stack all kinds of charges together to take your 1 year crime and make it a total of 10 years in prison, so you'll take a deal that gets you back to the original. At the Federal level, the conviction rate is 93%. Even if you are innocent, you can still be convicted.
> Edit: don't break the laws when you [sic] being prosecuted;
What? The whole point is you can't help but break a law.
- joering2 7y agoOP described situation in which you are bailed then had DUI. That's my point. Don't break the laws when you are on bail.
- kemiller2002 7y agoLet me clear up. The problem isn't breaking the law with the DUI. It's violating the court order. A judge can impose any set of rules (read that right ANY), and you get tossed back in jail for doing that. Not drinking just happens to be a common one. But you say, "I'm over 21, it's legal." Now it's not, because the judge told you not to. What about accessing a computer? He can put that in there. Using a cell phone. "But that's an undue burden." Do you honestly think that matters?
