It strikes me that anybody who says America is a "free" country is absolutely delusional.
-America has the highest percentage of it's people locked up in jail
-People spend time in jail even though they are not convicted because they cannot post bail, which disproportionately punishes the the poor
-The laws are so complex, and so many, almost everyone breaks the law multiple times a month. Enforcement is highly subjective and at the whim of prosecutors and law enforcement officials
