I’m in an extremely overtaxed state in the central US. I’m currently renting from a very cool landlord for almost a decade. The owner respects the environment and is in full support of my proposed additions, I reside in an unincorporated area so there aren’t any HOAs or policing bodies to bother with.
Police can arrest you, but they don’t run the courts.
Ie you get brought in on bogus charges and if the only evidence is a number that isn’t admissable as evidence you would likely see a mistrial.
