you're using the world jailed to mean arrested or charged, that's now what we are talking about. anyone can be put in jail for no reason for 24 hours. that doesn't mean much.

You can be sentenced and appeal from jail stranger. You don’t just sit free if you have an appeal. It’s extremely situational.

No, I am demonstrating that the argument doesn’t hold water on even first order inspection. And you seem to be upset that you don’t understand that.

Kindly stop wasting my time and go away.
