Court Appearance and Due Process Challenges

Mike Collum details his experience appearing in court after receiving a vague summons regarding unlicensed alcohol sales. He refused to sign documents that would place him under the court's authority, including an "Own Recognizance" (OR) release.

Most criminal cases are handled at the local level by elected District Attorneys, yet these races often go ignored by the public. Since 2015, a movement of "progressive prosecutors" like Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and Kim Foxx in Chicago has emerged. These officials run on platforms of ending mass incarceration, reducing racial disparities, and increasing transparency in the charging process.
