Man that dude is retarded. It's blowing my mind how he thinks being a libertarian is sjw. I'm guessing he saw Tiger king and that is where his knowledge of libertarianism comes from.

Yes

I’m honestly not trying to be clever either.

I think on a long enough timeline, public defense will be similar to public schooling. No means testing, and it will simply be "the norm" unless you want to pay for something boutique.

With that said, I'm not sure how you could fully socialize the civil side.

On a percentage basis, do you think there is markedly less shitty attorneys than shitty police?

Shitty cops can do far greater damage far more quickly and with far less chance of legal and professional consequences than a shitty attorney. That being said, I'd argue there are more shitty attorneys than shitty cops, but I don't know many cops personally. I do know a ton of attorneys.

Just based on personal experience and anecdotes, I would say that there is a higher percentage of attorneys who are bad at their jobs (if for no other reason than being an attorney is simply more technically difficult than being a police officer), while a higher percentage of police officers routinely commit ethics violations.

But again, just kind of a gut answer

Pretty easy to argue that more innocents are in prison due to bad attorneys than bad cops.



Only if you include prosecutors and judges in your "bad attorney" pile.

Tons of shite defense attorneys, but the system is stacked against you. Because the current state of Brady jurisprudence holds that exculpatory evidence doesn't need to be turned over until right before trial, defense attorneys are basically required to chase ghosts when something like 95% of cases resolve short of trial.

I'm including incompetence, and effort. If you have a PD, you're already screwed.

If you have specific examples, I will stand beside you against the lies and liars.


Here is a rather disturbing example. A deputy is caught falsifying a DWI but is allowed to resign.

quote:

So far, the north shore's famously tough criminal justice apparatus has gone easy on a deputy caught lying. St. Tammany Sheriff Randy Smith said he doesn't believe a crime was committed when Steinert put false information in an arrest report.


Now there was a bit of public outcry and charges were eventually filed on the deputy, but it is outrageous to think that he could have just moved on to a different location and perhaps continued to commit crimes against innocent citizens.

This was protection from the top. This culture needs to change - it's toxic.

Depends dramatically on the jurisdiction, actually.
