For the people thst practice law, it is not uncommon to have charges dropped even if the law was very clearly violated, because it just doesn't feel.right to penalize them.

E.g., a battered spouse kills their partner or a parent is caught stealing baby formula in small amounts. Such cases regularly get thrown out

    Put aside what you think about this news, this is likely going to happen as the admin doesn't care about legal challenges, they just implement policies.

    I own my home, fixed rate mortgage, and I own both of our cars with no remaining payments. From my understanding, should I cease payments on the loan (they are privately owned debts) I can be sued for the debt and then wages garnished. My credit score will also suffer from a default, but again I own everything I have or it's on a fixed rate.

    What does this process look like, and what are the tangible consequences for me?
