    Where 99.8% of trials result in conviction 😅 I’d be making damn sure that ball made it back too.

      Iirc part of the reason the conviction rate is so high is because either A) it’s a relatively minor infraction and person apologizes, claims it was a misunderstanding, accident, cultural differences, ignorance, etc and is then released, or B) they don’t think there’s enough evidence to convict, so they don’t even bother taking it to court.
