Yeah, it depends on how you look at it. I was thinking about this:

> I've had prosecutors and police know that our rights were violated as part of a citation. They did not care.

In my case it's, "I had a cop decide not to cite me for violations of the law that I actually committed, only to turn around and railroad me for a less serious violation that he could not possibly have known whether I actually committed or not."

My point was just that net-net the system worked to my benefit despite the fact that my ostensible rights were violated.

Ah, I missed that they didn't charge you on the more serious infraction.

I've only seen it go the one way in my experiences. It just seems so odd to me that a system with such power has such limited controls/protections, and such common mistakes and abuses.
