The point wasn’t to convict. The point was to arrest, harass, and intimidate.

Still, the costs for defendants, even if ultimately exonerated, have been enormous, with many having their mugshots blasted by the government and some forced to languish in jail or have criminal charges hang over them for weeks and months

Fundamental flaw in the legal system right there.

In several high-profile cases, the prosecutions fell apart because they relied on statements by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers that had no supporting evidence or in some instances were proven by video footage to be blatantly false.

Prosecute the liars. Ruin their lives instead.
