The new state law goes into effect in September, giving the courts just 2 months to prepare to implement the new system.

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Full disclosure'
I have been in jail.
No money for bail.
I have never been
convicted of any crime.
I despise cops
If you piss one off they will
"put you through the system"
Knowing you are going to go free
But your life may be ruined as that process
is lengthy.
Since cops are above all laws and
morals nothing happens to them
for their misbehavior's.
The state has mighty resources to bring against you
virtually unlimited money and time to "Get" you.
On the other hand we can't let petty criminals destroy
our society AKA  "Death by a thousand cuts".

Fix is easy
Disarm cops for day to day interactions.
Make them afraid to deal with petty criminals.
hold them accountable.
They call swat for violent crimes.

Per the Constitution quick trial week or two max
for non-violent crimes and non felony crimes.

Repeal the hundreds of bullshit laws Democrats pass
so they have "Tools" to control us.
Too many crimes that hurt nobody are
classified as felonies.

eg I don't need a law and potential fine
to make me wear a set belt
I do it because it makes me safer.

This is just a start.
