They only charge the cases with intent in practice.
- potato3732842 2y agoWhich has the wonderful side effect of creating backlog of "we found no intent so we just kinda dropped the matter and didn't bring charges" cases waiting to be prosecuted when some careerist decides they're only N cases way from some milestone and is willing to ruin lives to do it. I know a guy who got screwed over something like that.
