Let me guess? Flawed injustice? I guess they will always allow this, on the other hand you are innocent until proven guilty by your peers (or you are guilty until proven innocent).
I don't know why we're wasting tax dollars when this is a clear cut situation if the law explicitly says no ID is required, hell even the TSA says no ID is required so why are they even enforcing it yet they truthfully say so. Its too bad I can't try this myself, I don't have enough information and I have an agenda not worthy of getting arrested.
But this is exactly what happens here in Cleveland. The local paper just got done doing a four part feature on the activity of the DAs office. the DAs office routinely puts together cases to go to trial that are thrown out by the judge for lack of evidence. The DA admitted that he does present cases that may be lacking but lets the judge sort things out. Obviously the judges are furious at the DAs office for wasting their time on baseless cases.
