Woman allegedly impersonated prosecutor, dropped charges against herself

This depends on the actual prosecutor never attempting to participate in the case. Plus, I imagine that the penalty for getting caught defrauding a court is pretty steep.

So maybe you submit motion to dismiss request for a number of random cases. You become hidden among the others.

Difficult tradeoff because that multiplies the chances of detection.

I wonder how often this actually works.

Especially now with virtual systems. It’s a pretty amazing hack if you can pull it off.

And also, couldn’t be that hard to hide your tracks so it’s not clear if it was you or someone who supports you.

You could see this being done by activists or others.
