I have spent time at a court house. It’s called pleading guilty to a minor traffic violation. A cop lying or straight up making someone’s life hell for fighting is, in fact, something that happened the day I was there. Most everyone I know has either dealt with this or knows someone in their circle that dealt with this.
Still, I think you’d be very surprised if you actually spent any time in a court house, those examples you bring are very rare and far from a daily occurrence.
Again, I believe even one innocent person behind bars is too many, but we need to weight that against creating a culture of lawlessness and violence (which is where it feels like many large American cities, mine included, are headed).
