If I am reading this headline and understanding the article correctly, “yes they’re on a power trip it seems” But… You can be charged with “x” and then found Innocent months later… Which, I think is slow, but at least it’s “working” under the f’d up faulty system we (or in this case, TN) have in place.
You can be CHARGED with any kinda bs and be innocent, yes. Me personally, I’ve been charged with crimes, I’ve been ticketed unjustly, and usually had some recourse. In Europe I got tickets once and had no recourse whatsoever (a blitzer got me, but I was driving a friend’s car).
