That the criminal 'justice' system unfairly wieghts charges to immiditely sway a jury, before the trial even begins?
Example:
A drunk gets in his car (drink driving) doesn't stop for the flashing red and blue (resisting arrest), he cannot drive well BECAUSE he is drunk (Reckless driving, reckless endangerment, speeding), He swerves into the oncoming lane or into the lane were a police car is (attempted murder).
and yet the cops attempt to shoot out tires (who knows where THESE stray bullets go?) or use tire spikes (again ensuring that the drunk, who can barely keep his car under control has a vehicle that is uncontrolable).
How about-murder, attempted murder, conspiracy, attempt to do great bodily harm, battery, various weapons charges.
Would not murder, by definiton be the fulfillment of the attempt, and by definition been an attempt to do great bodily harm, and be the worst battery possible?
Seems like stacking the deck, the person MUST be guilty!
What do you think?

in my second paragraph, I am suggesting that deadly force or potentially (deadly-resulting in the death of the drink or an innocent bystander)
is not warranted and should be punishable. Why not use several large police units and block the road way ahead and seal him in eliminating the escalation of risk to life.

|THIS QUESTION IS NOT IN DEFENSE OF DRUNK DRIVERS OR ANY OTHER CRIMINAL ACT! I AM POINTING OUT AND ASKING IF YOU THINK IT IS TRUE, THAT THERE IS AN UNFAIR USE OF "LAW" AGAINST THE CIVILIAN POPULATION!

the legal system is fu*ked up, police can stop a one on one fight and shot one of the offenders and say it was self defense, but the other person is unarmed. that's not self defense. i know people wonder why do black people say fu*k the police cause they abuse the power we the people give them. i live in indianapolois, and you'll see 6 cop cars pulling over one black man for a driving violation. so many cops get shoot here and some deserve it. if a man is getting arrested and the cop is putting handcuffs on him now keep in mind the man is not resisting then why do you need another cop to go and put his knee in the back of the mans head, if seen it so man times and if we were to say anything they would arresr us to. and we don't have time for it. and as far as the court system is concerned if they don't have a strong case against you then they would do what you explained to makle the case sound more fu*k up they wouldn't even take into account that the police tried to kill you in order to stop you, in my state they wouldn't try to shoot your tires they would try to run you of the road or make you crash into something and please don't step out of the car with your hand behind your back cause they will shot you in a heart beat, IPD is a bunch of scary little boys hiding behind a gun and a badge they act hard and talk **** when their suited and booted, but outside the uniform they stay in the house i know a few of them.

You may have a point there. The poor guy already can barely find the road he is so plastered, and then the police make things worse by blowing out his tires. Where is the justice? I think cars driven by convicted drunk drivers should have curb feelers installed on them so the poor drunk can find his way home.

To some degree you are right. But, it is hard to sympathize with a drunk driver. I think it is a waste to even hold a trial for someone accused of drinking and driving. I have to admit that if I was selected for a jury for a case where the defendant is a drunk driver, my judgment would be skewed.

To me, any drunk that gets in a car should lose their driving privileges indefinitely. I don't think a drunk driver should just get a slap on the wrist to go out and do the same thing again, so I'm all for stiff charges for them.

so what question do u want answered.
off course the person is gonna be charged for drunk driving, if u have a good lawyer your sentence might decrease because of those points, but if u don't they are gonna give u the worst possible sentence they can give u.
have u been arrested for drunk driving or did u lose a chase

In your second paragraph, are you suggesting that the police are guilty of those crimes in stopping the car? If so, you need to brush up on your law. If endangering (or even taking) a life is done in defense of the self or of others, it is not a crime.

i imagine it relies upon on what percentage each individual is searching questions at the same time as you - there are cases even as a similar questions stay on the first web page for a lengthy time period yet even as that is busy on right here they'd in straight forward words be on the first web page for a couple of minutes...if that and maximum consumers do not difficulty clicking onto the 2d, third web page etc.... :-)

That's so true! I think the police use their status to be able to commit all of those 'crimes' and get away with it. I hear about more police shooting now than i do bystanders.

You are right. Learn the system and get a good lawyer it's the only way to beat the system like they do.

The government worries me very much, as does the criminal justice system.
