This bill is so dumb! Why should I have to pay for a lawyer if I didn't even do anything wrong?! This is so unfair and it's gonna screw over so many people like me who can't afford to pay for a lawyer in the first place. This is just gonna make it harder for innocent people to defend themselves. #ridiculous This bill is gonna affect people like me who can't afford to pay for a lawyer if we're wrongly accused of a crime.
