It's not just that either. It's the all the ripple effects this type of stuff causes. Know any employers that are just going to be "understanding" about you "mistakenly being locked up?" Yeah, that's what I thought.

Since many people are just one paycheck away from being homeless -- you end up in jail for something you didn't have anything to do with. Then you lose your job. Then you lose the roof over your head, including your credit rating. Your family may or may not be split up if you have kids, depending on where they go to school and where your significant other can find shelter.

Have a little bit of "emergency" savings saved up? Good for you! Say goodbye to food stamps, day care assistance or even emergency rental money in the event of foreclosure.

No money to pay the insurance on the car? Tail light out again? Got pulled over again? Maybe the car gets impounded this time.

It's not just being caught in one of these "mistakes", it's the ripple effect that these mistakes cause -- all.the.time.

Does anyone ever get restitution for these wrong doings at the hands of our public officials? If so, how much $$$ did they have to pay in order to be sufficiently defended in court? Did you know that now you have to pay taxes on all your court winnings even if the lawyer takes a giant chunk of it? YEP.

So BASICALLLLLLYYYYY....... your entire life is SCREWED because someone decided they needed to meet one more quota on tickets for the night/end of the month, etc. Or some guy was in training and decided to administer one of these tests.

YOUR WHOLE LIFE JUST GOT SCREWED!!!! What restitution is there for victims of this?
