So Judge Nevius rejected my appeal in the case I previously wrote about. I’m sure that a lot of it has to do with my lack of legal ability. I have no doubt that a lawyer could have made it happen with how obviously ridiculous this case was. The system needs to shape up right from the top. I maintain that I shouldn’t need a lawyer to argue against an officer who is ignorant of the law in question. It’s all about the money.

Also last week I had a debate with a guy here who used to work with the police. He was so obviously indoctrinated. His grounds for why cops should just pull over people without grounds is that they often catch them for other criminal things. Sorry, but that just isn’t in the spirit of the constitution. The ends aren’t supposed to justify the means. Besides, if that is true, why do they always write tickets? Also I realized that I tend to come off as anti-cop. That is not at all what I mean. I think we need cops and laws. I just wish that the police would focus on the laws that actually affect people. I don’t think that police officers are evil people. I just think that they are part of a severely broken system that no longer serves the needs of the people. I believe that they really think they are doing good because they have been so brainwashed that they actually believe that speed laws are set for safety. In Ohio at least, that is simply not true.

Finally, it doesn’t matter if I’m right. What matters is that there is a whole group of people who agrees with me. These people are not allies of the system. We don’t trust it. If the police plan to fight real crimes, they will need to have the support of the public.
