Over charge and then accept a plea deal. Works 9/10 times on the poor people who can’t afford the expensive lawyers (made up stat).

Yes. This has happened to me. After a few times, I realized the $500 lawyer was just going to plea some shit and I was still walking away with a record and maybe spending some time in the cell. Last 2 times I got in trouble, I opened the checkbook and it was worth it. If you don't have money to throw at a good lawyer, your kinda screwed in most cases.
