Courts, and even law enforcement, are actually smart enough to know that they have to enforce the laws as written and that they can't just act on their feels. At least most of the time. In many places.
- beaglesss 2y agoThey can't say they're breaking the law but as long as they don't admit to wrongdoing they can accomplish the goal of picking up pretty much anyone for something.. It's best to assume the government is a hostile, rabid actor who will seize any reachable assets and your freedom at any point they wish and proceed accordingly.
- hnbad 2y agoFWIW this is more of a concern if you expect the case to go to court. In the US most "criminals" accept plea bargains without a court ever seeing the case. So statistically you can likely "act on your feels" as long as the suspect does not think they can prove you wrong in a court of law (whether it's because they're guilty, because they don't fully understand the law or because they can't afford the time and money involved in a court process).
