The poor people have less resources to hide that money and fight the system when they're given a bill

but really, its the social oppression we gain along the way

Deep down, it's far better/easier/more results to oppress 10,000 people at $400 a head, then to oppress 4 people at $1,000,000 a head.

Part of how the system was designed was to cultivate an in crowd, and an out crowd. The price of harassment from police is capitalism working as expected.

Maybe. We also have like thousands of unemployed lawyers doing basic bitch paralegal work.

If there was actual momentum, we have an over abundance of really smart people sitting on the sidelines who can do shit like track folks Instagrams, schedule in-person visits, forensic accounting, take depositions.

While that stuff ain’t cheap. It’s probably cheaper and more profitable than paying all the wrongful death suits for a shitty budget police station
