This is what some not-very-good police do in some places. Arrest someone they don’t like and then dig up some ancient law still on the books that they broke on a technicality. Usually if such a thing goes to court the court strikes it down, if the justice system is remotely functional. But where’s Lemmy’s courts?
Yeah but there’s also no punishment for the cop for wasting the states and victims time. They spent time and money to fight the bullshit, the cop successfully hurt the person and there’s nothing stopping the cop from doing it again.
