    I really like this one. It takes us right up to the threshold of prison time. Icing on the cake would be a courtroom video, but I don’t really need it. We all know how it goes.

    No way he’s getting 7 years just for using a passport as ID and not having plates. What did he do?

    They should just get specialists into court proceedings with these people to just bombard them with the most complex legalese in absolute detail.

        I meant in addition to the lawyer … the added specialist would just be some kind of academic with a great detailed knowledge of archaic laws and regulations who could just cite obscure codes, legalese, regulations and explanations going all the way back to Ancient Greece and the Babylonians - their job would be just to calmly answer back to the Sovcit with ever more complex explanations and jargon.
