Seems like you're overcomplicating this. The authorities claim to follow a Constitution with a clear Bill of Rights that they violate all the time, so none of their charges or courtroom shit can really be legitimate as long as that isn't changed.

Since the courtroom people make it impossible to determine whether they're lying, there's no point wasting time trying to determine it, it's simpler to just remember they are liars and ignore any claims they make.
