It is.

It nearly happened to me. Thankfully technology was my best witness. Cell phone towers. Was almost pinned with a firearm charge I was 60 miles away when it had occurred. Drove into the town hour later and got arrested. Still cost me 4,000 dollars, what I had in my 401k. Big jacked up deal. It needs reformed really bad. People underestimate how strong just a witness testamony can be and corrupt police. I was lucky and had a witness (girl I was going to see) on the phone on the drive. Bouncing off towers with a live call. But.... that doesnt matter. You still spent big money just getting to prove your point and case.

Like the mcloskeys. Blm rioters broke into their neighborhood, threatened them, and threatened their property they had firearms for self defense and now are felons. No shots were fired. And Kyle R. One of his attackers had a gun, and the attacker is a felon. but hes (kyle) white and conservative.

Yeah imagine getting caught with an ounce of weed 20 years ago, then it was a felony, now depending on where you live, it could be perfectly legal for you to have.

@Nick Broomhall Well they had alot of other issues with it. Some kids thought I matched the description of someone.. But nothing else aligned with it. When I show people the records it's almost unbelievable to them. But... those phone records, had I of actually needed to have them professionally analyzed would of cost about 10,000 dollars on top of the 4k. Just the DA seeing me preserving all records and having my witness made him drop with prejudice. But I was very fortunate. Had not all the other things went the way it did it could of been very bad.

That's how it should be though. Example: if a friend you've give special privileges to to use your credit card for emergencies uses that privilege in a wrong way, abusing it, the friend has both done something wrong and broken your trust. In a criminal's case, they've done something wrong, and have said goodbye to the government's trust in them to travel and vote and such.

Factsssss

It just means they are now probably forced into committing crimes in order to get by. Society's rejection of felons forces reciprocity, and thus, a perpetuation of criminal activity. The US doesn't believe in reform, which is probably why crime is so high there.

**Your comment has been redacted Reason: Criminal**

I definitely agree. I was watching this show "Kid Killers" I think it's called and one case really stood out. This guy was 13 when he shot and killed his favorite teacher. It was a very impulsive killing and had mental health awareness been what it is today, I don't think he would've gotten nearly as much time. Anyway, he was sentenced to 28 years so he has 8 more years before being released. His lawyer was saying how he hopes he'll make good decisions upon release but what chance does he have? He has spent over half his life in prison, many of which were his formative years. At the age of 41 he'll be a convicted murderer of a very high profile case. Even if he has managed to get his GED, a degree, and job training the chances of someone hiring him are extremely low. He most likely won't even be equipped mentally to deal with life outside of prison. He really doesn't even have a chance. It's quite sad. The US has more people in prison than any other country as well as the highest incarceration rate despite having some of the the harshest punishments. Obviously our way isn't working to reduce recidivism or success rate upon release but nothing seems to be even in the hopes of changing
