Re: Plea deals seem coercive
My best wishes Wormy, that is just awful.
I hate to admit it but most UK cops and judiciary aren't that bad. One day I was locked up on 'suspicion of conspiracy to commit criminal damage'. The facts that there was no damage and I was alone eventually persuaded them to release me, just 70 miles away from where I was arrested. I've witnessed some violent police abuse but never suffered it myself. Not all cops are bastards, mostly just the higher ranking ones.
"My brother in law is a QC" - true for me but feel free to use it if you are British. It has a very calming effect on out of control police.
