    It is difficult to prove willful violation of rights (required for a criminal case) which is why it doesn’t happen often, even while people’s rights are violated routinely.

        Both in this particular case, I’m doing it pro se. I can’t legally represent anyone, so I represent myself when the need arises and provide assistance to others who cannot afford help, usually prisoners. I’m focusing on 8th amendment violations such as excessive force claims and poor prison conditions. It’s a useful form of activism, even if a suit is not ultimately successful. It costs them either way.

          wow. legal consultant, software engineer, sec-ops, defender of pedophiles, network engineer, detective, farmer.

          most impressive.

          how do you find the time to grace us plebeians with your large intellect?

          no need to answer, I have a suspicion on how it’s possible.

            I’m a software engineer with only a little legal background.

            I’m none of the other things you listed. Most the prisoners I help are not pedophiles. And I only manage my product’s server cluster because I don’t have money yet to hire anyone. I’m not good at devops or networking. 🤷
