I have seen people ruined after being charged with a crime but winning winning a case against the state for various offenses such as controlled substances act or DUI etc. Even if they win their case they lose. Five to ten thousand dollars for a lawyer, the missed work for court appearances and or jail time before bond is set can put an average citizen on the street. I am not anti cop, but I am anti 'stupid law enforcement' and I'm against law enforcement when its enforced via a 'biased' method. By the latter I mean it seems blacks and the poor are more likely to be unfairly charged and convicted. What to do? I say the state or Feds should be mandated to pay restitution and damages to the citizen for any case they lose. That may stop biased enforcing and or charging citizens for crimes that they have little or weak evidence. Maybe if this was enacted a trial run using only nonviolent cases ie controlled substance cases or DUIs with no injury could be attempted. Personally I think even capital cases should have something like restitution to the charged if the state loses its case. So what say you all?
