    It’s already extremely easy for LE to drum up basically whatever charge and stick it to you, for the majority of citizens with no funds for a lawyer.

    We’ve already got the plate scanners. Everytime I drive by one, my file pops as a red flag and a stop is more than likely, just to “check in” with me, usually with some false pretense like “i thought your window was cracked, my bad, but where you going tonight?” I’m not technically on paper, but I am treated as such. Easy arrest potential with some bs probable cause.

    The fact that it will continue to go further doesn’t surprise me. Makes the job even easier for them. If you aren’t a good consumer, you will be prosecuted.
