I sure think so. The way it is handled now creates a caste society by color of law. To my thinking that goes against the grain of traditional American principles of equality of justice, liberty and freedom.
I also hate the way they charge a suspect with every crime under the sun. If a person assault someone, why add the fact that he was screaming obscenities, prejudicial slurs, spitting, carrying a sharpened comb, had a gun in the car with bullets in his jacket, was found to be nearly drunk in public, was out after midnight on a school night, or illegal discharge of a weapon, illegal discharge of a weapon while in the act of robbing a guy. You get my drift though, if they have very slim evidence, they can always throw the kitchen sink at you, then the jury is easily persuaded to convict on something. Once that happens, your rights as a human are terminated. There is a web site, threefeloniesaday...check it out, there is nobody that could withstand scrutiny of the law if they want to get you.
