Predatory prosecution.

Where is the “Prosecutorial Discretion”? Prosecutors exercise unfettered discretion, deciding who to charge with a crime, what charges to file, when to drop the charges, whether or not to plea bargain, and how to allocate prosecutorial resources.

Browbeating grandmothers makes for blazing headlines, and prosecutors are, at heart, political animals, either for themselves, or the regime they represent. Make an example of one, a hundred others are severely inhibited in any future decisions. And even then, the boundaries are not defined.

Secret trials and star chambers are next. Oh, wait, we already have some of these already in use, it is only a matter of expanding their scope.

Dystopia is only an election away. It is nearing the point at which you do not KNOW if you have violated some obscure and arcane law or regulation, and the administration of “justice” under the terms of that statute is totally capricious.
