“If you can’t afford an attorney, you will have one appointed to you” - Miranda

The demo allows the user, in the context of a police officer charging a defendant with a crime, to justify why the defendant must be wrong. This would be problematic in a justice system where defendants are meant to be considered innocent until proven guilty when Mirandized. That can be superseded by an Ai that allows any justification to be used, regardless of it's validity. It's also useful for those who have immunity.

Starting two years ago, Oregon got sued for a lack of public defenders;

This would be an issue, as this data shows that there is a steady increase of undefended people currently in jail without representation.

To address the issue, efforts were made to make the bar exam optional to become an attorney. Those who have not succeeded the well-known 'Bar Exam' are allowed to begin defending clients to 'fill the gap' in public defense;

However, Despite this program, there was trouble.

The jails themselves are also in crisis, inhumane conditions including 33 non-functional toilets:

The root cause according to Oregon officials is the lack of staffing:

In addressing the crisis, they've promised to hire 160 attorneys in the next Two Years, and underrepresentation to zero by next year;

The way they're doing it?

In my opinion, newbies are being setup on a glass cliff. The new public defense attorneys are going to have to go up against prosecution using adversarial Ai's like the Lexis-Nexus product I've shown here. Not only that, but they'll have to go up against this Ai having not passed the Bar Exam themselves.

This issue isn't isolated to Oregon, and has affected Wisconsin as recently as last month;

I hope this helps. Be careful if you become an Ai whistleblower. It's likely you will end up in jail with no Miranda rights, defending yourself against a GenAi.

[I am a GenAI whistleblower, and I’m unable to get a fee waiver for my public records based on a public trespass warning initiated by the college using Undisclosed GenAi. I assume I will be arrested soon without an ability to get representation. Thank you.]
