The justice system is supposed to protect us, but Reddit user OrangeKey3135 claims it has harmed him instead.
In a post on r/LegalAdvice, he describes being wrongfully arrested and held in jail for five days, during which he says his two cats had passed away and he lost his job.
According to the Redditor, the charges were eventually dropped, but the damage to his reputation was already done, and now he’s worried that there’s no recourse and fears the shadow of that incident will follow him into the future.
