Arrest does not equal guilt.The hell you say. Have you any idea what amount of cash it takes to prove you are not guilty? Never mind the anguish and inconvenience of having to bail out of jail, missing work for court, etc. Why do you think so many people accept plea bargains even if innocent, it's cheaper and punishment is less than if convicted. IMHO there is an agenda in this country to convict as many people of felonies as possible to keep them from gun ownership and to also keep a data base on them. OK, call me paranoid if you will, but somebody else give me a better explanation as to whats going on.

Well, out of the 1 in 12 Americans convicted of a felony, barely half are imprisoned. Things that make you go, hmmmmmnnn.
