Twitter user @LilianaSegura, shared a powerful Twitter thread that boosts awareness on the struggles undergone by people trying to visit loved ones in the prison system. They ended up encountering all kinds of obstacles on what could've been an otherwise smooth visit. Bit of a nightmare.

Here are some things that some of us do all the time, but still feel like we're being put under scrutiny. There's also a good mix of things that really feel like they should be illegal. For some spicier ones, here are some awful things that are legal to do but still terrible.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the worst defenses they'd seen made in court. The resulting insights offer rare glimpses at some criminally dumb criminals. These people were nowhere near ready for court, and their "defenses" speak volumes to that.
It sounds like these neighbors were just hoping for the day they'd get their fence burned down by some careless fool. They went ahead and tried to collect big time from this guy, and ultimately fund a trip to Hawaii. However, the judge's moral compass was intact, and they ended up walking out over $9K in debt.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This neighbor was illegally extending his property line into protected land and got nailed for it. Had he been nicer to his neighbors, he may not have been completely screwed, but hey, he flew too close to the sun. Sometimes when people take up too much space, the universe calls on someone to mess with them, like this guy who got petty revenge on a selfish parker with a fake note.
Someone on AskReddit asked for police officers to share the laws they feel uncomfortable about enforcing, because they don't necessarily agree with them. We've got responses like, how they don't particularly want to bust people out having a good time on the river, as long as they're not being total inconsiderate animals. As well as, angelic cops who literally carry nickels on them to feed the meters to avoid writing tickets. Wherever that is happening sounds like a hell of a place.
Someone on AskReddit asked for lawyers to share why various couples called off their divorces. Sometimes unexpected curveballs are so big that a couple's original plan to call it quits, is stopped in its tracks, and the love once gone, is reignited with more passion than before.
When you're young enough your parents are just your parents, and it seems like they can do no wrong. And since you don't know anything, you're gonna miss obvious signs that your folks are up to some unsavory business. It's not until you get older and look at them as people that you have a chance to realize they may not have been on the right side of the law. Here are some free legal tips from a funny lawyer that shouldn't need saying.
Someone on AskReddit asked for cops to share the stupidest laws they've ever enforced as result of someone just being a stupid asshole. The resulting stories are filled to the brim with people being rude morons. These are the same kinds of people that try to lie and spew BS all over social media, before getting called out by people ready to defend the truth.
This woman got back at a nasty old con man, who'd acquired his wealth through scamming others by outsmarting him. The nuclear revenge that ensues comes at quite the cost to the tricky bastard. To think that he was probably all kinds of jacked up, getting away with $25K when he ends up losing about half a million dollars.
A recent AskReddit thread has divorce lawyers, people that know divorce lawyers, and other people that have had their time in the court of law, sharing the most screwed they've ever seen someone in court. The stupidity runs strong in these cases of criminally dumb criminals. That and a little bit of heartlessness.
