WA: you'll have to come through me first

I think this is a great photo of what a good criminal defense lawyer does:
And Jim Dixon is a very good criminal defense lawyer (say what you will about his client). From the Olympian:

Shoopman avoids jail time for taking off bracelet that monitors alcohol

A judge decided today that Sierra Shoopman will not go to jail for violating her conditions of release by removing an electronic ankle bracelet that monitors alcohol use so she could board a plane and go to Mexico for vacation...

Shoopman, 18, was convicted in 2005 of vehicular homicide... Since then, she has been accused of violating her probation by driving and... acting discourteously during a court-ordered panel discussion with victims of drunken or reckless driving. Shoopman appeared in court today in connection with violating her conditions of release on a new, 2007 charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol...

Maybe your average similarly - situated indigent defendant would get the same treatment, maybe not.
