More often than you know.
My kid was thrown face-down in the hall at high school, marched out of school in hand-cuffs, held in jail for 24 hours, all because the dip-sh*t Dunn County DA forgot to sign a document 3 months before, dismissing a charge. No apology, just a paperwork mistake, little wonder anyone has so little respect for the legal system.

My favorite pet peeve has to do with their stupid drug laws. I'll give you a scenario, and keep in mind this is how it works around here; I don't know about other places.

Suppose I'm driving down the road, and I see a hitchiker. Being a good samaritan I pick him up. Later, I get pulled over for who knows what reason. Maybe I was speeding a bit; it doesn't really matter. The cop searches the hitchiker and finds drugs.

The result of this is I will get arrested, tossed in the can with all the Charles Manson look alikes, and if I can't cough up three to five thousand dollars for a good lawyer, probably end up with a drug conviction on my record.

So what's my response to that? Simple: I don't pick up hitchikers. I don't give someone a ride that needs one unless I know them personally. They're steadily creating a world in which it's dangerous to be a normal human being and help out others.

As you say, it's no wonder there's so little respect for the legal system.
