We don't live in rational society. All the citations I should have had dismissed were ruled against me, and some of the ones I shouldn't have had dismissed were ruled in my favor.
I don't have recent experience though. There is such a thing as judges and prosecutors undermining the effort of police to the detriment of society and the criminals/addicts themselves. Some people live their best lives in confinement.
The dysfunctionality comes when generally law abiding citizens are shaken down for their loose cash, while the law dismissing individuals are given a pass. You'll get a citation for doing 5 over the limit, but the guy that wants to build a house and poop in the street is not held to account.
THAT is a sign of a civilization in decline. Anyone voting for chaos or otherwise supporting it deserves the society they get.
