I know its difficult to find a brain cell in dipperland, but
If you believe you're innocent which City do, why wouldn't you pay the best lawyers to prove you're innocent over paying a fine. Even if that fine is a penny, you're admitting guilt.
This is one of the more bizarre ideas the idiots have. Charged, just accept it, don’t defend yourself. It’s so bizarre. They seem to think anyone should just accept the findings of a kangaroo court.
You ask them, if you are wrongly accused of something and you have evidence that you are innocent, would you use a top solicitor to present said evidence? There’s only one answer.
Guilty till proven innocent, but if you use fancy lawyers to prove said innocence, you’re guilty..
