          Yeah you’re gonna go to prison. Or maybe have a “heart attack” on the ride to jail.

          You have any idea how often cops get away with this stuff?

          Almost always. Even with video evidence against them.

            I’m not particularly worried about going to prison for a DUI. Nor am I worried they’re gonna kill me. If there are public articles about how evidence was planted, even the shittiest lawyer on earth would have a field day with that case.

                I am white but not very wealthy. But in this case that doesn’t make much of a difference. If its so obvious they planted evidence that the entire world already knows about it, you will come out on top regardless of race.

                    I definitely don’t envy your unfounded cynisism. The justice system is biased against black people, but when the planting of evidence is already proven to that extent, there isn’t anything they can do.

                    Its not like you just automatically go to prison if you’re black. You still get a trial, and if you have a case that good you’ll be fine.
