I'm amazed this is law. It's like Josef Fritzl charging rent for his cellar.
Apparently it was originally thought of people who actually were guilty of doing something wrong getting out on a technicality. They never imagined someone getting out because they were actually innocent
Like that’s also terrible. Technicalities are either “the prosecution broke the rules” or “that’s technically not illegal”. You’re not supposed to be punished at all for those cases for good reason, it’s just that they can’t make you not have been in prison.
