I work at a tobacco shop. And after they said I blown through a stop sign. When asked when drinking I said no. Then he said I smelled, and I quote, “of something suspicious”. I get cops get their paycheck for tickets and such but seriously has it really gotten this bad that for a ticket they try to make it something bigger? and ignoring my rights?

    I would bet money we are missing the truth here. They aren’t gonna waste time after proving your innocence.

      Sure they will. Many prosecutors are so bombastically driven to succeed that they will prosecute a case they can win even if they know it is not justice because winning at all costs is the only thing that matters to some.

      You don’t get into a good law school and don’t become a country prosecutor by being a typical person. They are very much driven to succeed and have lived their entire lives that way.
