How do these morons not cotton on to the fact that not once has any of their nonsense ever worked?
80% of the time it works every time. They are most very unlucky
Every once in awhile some official somewhere is just like... fuck, I don't get paid enough for this and just moves on. The 1% with a singular success story holds up the entire community.
And they always seem so surprised!
It's because the law is wildly complex to a layman. They see magic happening when a lawyer cleverly applies the law and think they can be clever as well. A word or a phrase can make or break a case.
Recent example; NY State charging Luigi with terrorism. People thought the state was tacking on a bullshit charge. Well, kinda. A terrorism charge is the only way state law allows a charge of first-degree murder (in this case).
tl;dr; People see technicalities applied, think they can learn this without going to law school.
