California’s Supreme Court rules that a MAGA “sheriff” in California named Chad Bianco illegally seized upwards of 650K election ballots for a fake investigation into voter fraud and ordered him to return all ballots back to election officials. Better yet, prosecute him for election fraud.

If there's no evidence of a crime, it's good that prosecution drops charges. BUT, being arrested and charged in itself brings real cost in time, attorney fees, etc. The THREAT of this is used to stifle dissent. If you think dropped charges are the system working, your privilege is showing.
