It certainly is. If you wanted to design a system for getting innocent people to plead guilt you would be hard pressed to come up with a better system.
I wish that some prosecutor would "go rogue" and start applying all these tactics on nice middle class people. The outcry after a couple of weeks would be so great that something might be done about changing things.
Why would any prosecutor do that. They're as smart as you are, and they know they'd kill the golden goose by doing that. There is a never ending supply of poor black men to add to a prosecutor's career tally; no need to rock the boat.

I know :(
In my heart I always hope there are people out there that will put doing the right thing ahead of their material comfort and status. Right or wrong Snowden did show there are some people who do.
