    Sounds like it’s too fuckin easy to fake these documents and more needs to be done to verify this stuff before any action is taken.

      That would require cops to do their jobs, something we know they refuse to fucking do.

      When Charles Allman refused to leave his home, the 77-year-old was arrested on a Criminal Trespass warrant.

      Pretty sure cops do the actual arresting, not the Clerk of the Superior Court.

          Cops, Prosecutors, Courts. They’re all filled with idiot fucking bastards who don’t know how to do their fucking jobs.

          EDIT: To be clear, I’m still right, because the police arrested him with a Criminal Trespass Warrant. So that means the court accepted the forged documents, and then went on to get a judge to sign a warrant to arrest this man. All cops, prosecutors, and courts are bastards.
