And sometimes you've done absolutely nothing wrong but prosecutors will use any information they can get their hands on as evidence of a crime, because they don't give a single fuck if they lock up a person they know full well is innocent for the rest of their lives, all they care about is a "win" in court.
Sometimes "crimes" are not crimes at all.

You're right. I know your response may seem implausible, but prosecutors have fought against the release of known innocent people.
It's not even that they'll try to get a win. It's that they can refuse to simply honor justice in its most fundamental forms.

Cops have also been known to use "parallel construction" in order to launder evidence that would otherwise be considered inadmissible. It's fucked.
