Unfortunately recording devices are not allowed in courts, and it was not a part of actual court proceedings, so there's no way for me to prove that it happened. I can put it forth only as a first-hand account. Regardless, that's the day I realized that the police and the courts are their own entity separate from and above the rest of society. Our only hope is to minimize contact.
