What you are describing is corruption. It’s actually a crime. But government will never hold government prosecutors or judges to account for corruption that favors government interests.
- kingcharles 5y agoWho do you report it to? For instance, the police committed about a dozen felonies in my case. In Illinois, in all counties except Cook County, the misconduct has to be reported to the police station where the officer works. THEY WILL JUST LAUGH AT YOU. They are not going to charge their own police officer with misconduct because a "criminal" reported it. And if you are in jail and try to report anything you can only do it by postal mail. In which case all your letters just go into the circular filing cabinet under their desk.
- voakbasda 5y agoYour story underscores my belief that government is past the point of reporting in the hope of repair or reform. When the system is broken beyond rescue, at what point is it right to revolt?

- wolverine876 5y agoI don't know about Kim Foxx, but others in the new wave of DAs have certainly made vast changes.
- q1w2 5y agoThis is the way the system works. You can call it corruption - but words don't matter. Most judges and most prosecutors function like this.
