Artistic License Law and Kangaroo Court

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: The Kangaroo Court (see below) that Billy Carey gets. Even if somehow the rest of the state was corrupt enough to uphold such an absurd proceeding, Federal Courts would strike it down in a heartbeat, not the least of which would be not having the benefit of counsel after having his attorney imprisoned on sham grounds of "contempt of court" and then trying him without a defense attorney.


Added DiffLines:

* KangarooCourt: The "trial" that Carey's son gets: In only a few hours the defense attorney is found in contempt of court and jailed, Carey's son is arraigned, tried, and sentenced to years of prison on felony drug charges, and immediately shipped off to prison later the same day.

How the plot wouldn't have worked only a few years later.

Added DiffLines:

* SocietyMarchesOn: The plot of the film is based on the idea that if they can flee across the state line to Tennessee, they can be safely beyond prosecution. When the movie was made in 1984, that was the law in the United States, under the Supreme Court ruling Kentucky v. Dennison from 1861. However, 3 years after the film was made, that ruling was overturned in Puerto Rico v. Branstad which ruled that states cannot refuse extradition requests from other states. The plot of the film wouldn't have worked just 3 years later. Not to mention how the country would react in a post 9/11 environment to a vigilante with a vintage tank blasting his way across the southern US.
