The entire process blows because there's no bail system or public defenders. It takes longer to find a lawyer, suppress "evidence" which has no chain of custody or legitimacy other than being a screenshot or text document, than just serving your jail time and moving on. A day one public defender could dismiss 70% of all cases by the LSPD due to case law and other things which are never utilized.
Warrants are a misunderstood concept. Due to most of the player base not being from the U.S. they don't understand the 4th Amendment and just want to look cool in their tactical SWAT vests running through houses.
