Your point in earlier posts about having a right to get correct information from a CHL instructor is absolutely correct, but shortly out of law school, I learned that what the law "says" and what happens in court are often miles apart.

Chas.

No offense, but that's quite an indictment against your profession.

The priorities of all parties to any court action should be that, one, justice prevails; and, two, that the law is applied equally. Sadly, the priority of all parties is to win, even if it means twisting "perception" so that the facts of the case, the law, and justice are all secondary.

The law cant be applied equally in all cases. There has to be room for interpretation. Otherwise, for example, little girls get sent home for having Midol at school. Zero Tolerance policies are a prime example of why applying the law equally in all cases wont work. Problem is different people are interpreting and playing politics as well so you end up with the lesser of 2 evils. I do think the system is abused and the State has a virtual unlimited budget against the common man so it is unfair to begin with.
