Effectively, this requires a thought process along the lines of: This treatment is fine for the out-group, only because my in-group would never act in such a way. I can clearly pre-judge the situation and the out-group is clearly guilty, and if my in-group is ever accused of something necessitating jail, I can pre-judge it and declare they do not deserve the same treatment

And that is part of the typical populist thought process. I get that it's not the definition of populism, but every populist thinks that way. At least in America.
