    What investigation is needed?

    There’s no way this is legal, it’s what “blatantly illegal” means.

    Like, if someone stripped naked, got a full automatic gun and walked around the White House busting off caps, it’s “blatantly illegal” no investigation needs to be done.

    This isn’t like Musk went home and put pants on, he’s still running around literally everyday till the election doing this.

    You stop the person from committing the crime, and lock them up if there’s reasonable suspicion they’ll keep committing crimes.

    Then when you’ve stopped more crimes from happening, you investigate the crimes that already blatantly happened, as well as looking for others.

      Are you suggesting to lock musk up for up to a year without a jury convicting him? For an illegal lottery.

              I’m wondering if people are confused about your comment because they are missing the fact that Musk is literally an African American (American now, originally from Africa).

            Right about what, exactly? You do know this is a random person talking out of their ass on the internet about how they want the justice system to work, not reality.

            Have no fear, there would be an investigation and a jury and conviction before Musk is behind bars (LOL JUST KIDDING, Musk is rich and will never face consequences)

              Right about the radical left wanting to imprison political opponents. Without due process

              Over an illegal lottery that could be argued to be a sweep

                Jail and prison are 2 different things. You are held in jail, and may be able to be let out on bond depending on the charges against you, while you wait to receive your due process. You are not held in a prison until you are sentenced by a judge, following a conviction by a jury.

                If your due process is violated and you are imprisoned without conviction, guess who would probably be interested in taking your case? Probably the ACLU.

        You know, they do that to people every single day.

        They hold people (remanded into custody) until a trial if they are a threat to the public.
