I was snatched up in an entrapment scheme by the Bronx police a decade or so ago. They waited for a bad rainy day, knowing the subway flooded badly, then put police tape around the turnstyles and opened the emergency gates wide open. As the hundreds of people followed each other down the tunnel the insticnt of everyone was to follow everyone else walking past, assuming the flooding broke the turnstyles. Fast forward 10min when the train shows up. The cops stopped the train, closed the exits and rounded up everyone issuing them 100$ tickets.
I fought it. The courtroom had people, mainly minorities, in a line all around the block in winter time. It was a money generating racket, preying on the poorest citizens who could not afford a $100 ticket, to loose a day of work,let alone a lawyer.
I was the only one there with a letter written by my lawyer. When it was my turn and they saw I had a lawyer ready to fight they dismissed my case with no explanation. Shameless.
Everyone takes a plea deal and they just extract millions from us. The courts, lawyers, the police.
Do not take plea deals! Fight them. Grind the courts, force them to work for it. Hold them accountable. I cant WAIT for ai to make them obsolete.
