> US legal process definitely favors the wealthier because they have access to more resources, namely better lawyers. In which country does this not apply? What makes this apply only to US? > Of course that is to be expected in USA, since drivers are constantly so protected, unless they are poor. I am referring to this @jessaustin. How is rich getting lenient sentences across the board relevant here? What does that have to do with driving. |

In USA, while crime in general is punished harshly, killing people with a car is a good way not to do any prison time and pay minimal fines. It's an issue of fairness, especially when poor people routinely see e.g. "taillight out" citations they can't afford to pay turn into years-long struggles with the criminal persecution system. If this topic interests you, look into the various reports about Ferguson MO.
Your questions in this thread, while aggressive, never hit upon exactly what troubled you about my initial short parenthetical comment that I only wrote to qualify the overall short post. Was it "USA", "drivers", "poor", "protected", or "negligence"? Was there any one word you would have removed?
