I will try to be brief.
Cases are where police made mistakes and arrest the wrong person.
The warrant is presented, the individual arrested, questionnaires made, accusations given, court case settled, bond paid until court day, and finally the prosecutors at the court trial ask for dropping the charges because they got the wrong man.
Lots of similar cases happen often, where people suffer the inconvenience of a judicial process, shame, and more, and finally are found not guilty of any charge because everything was just "an error".
We are humans and we commit lots of errors. The example from a above is "understandable".
What is not understandable is the second part, which is to erase completely from the system such charges, because those records should have never been in the system if not because police mistake.
Here is where "the victim" of the police mistake will have to apply for erasing such charges. This implicates paying of forms, the procedure of finger prints again, etc. Plus, in several cases, another court day in order to "beg" the judge to erase such a record.
This is simply unjust.
A reform is needed.
If a person is arrested, no matter the charges, by police mistake, and with or without a court case,and the person is sent free because it was found was police mistake, then the police department must be obligated to erase the whole records by court order or simply automatically at no cost and or other action by the person who has been charged without a valid reason.
Did I say it right?
I know by the news of a woman who was charged of conspiracy because she was family of a man erroneously identified as possible criminal and so forth. She was sent free at court trial, but it was a nightmare for her to clean up those records.
This second part of the whole case shouldn't have never happened. Police made the mess, then police must clean it up.
I think this is about JUSTICE.
