Here in the United Empire of Profit not nearly so many people believe that any more, because (as with “if you’re innocent and can’t afford a lawyer you’ll get equal justice from a public defender”) there are so many counter-examples to demonstrate that’s not how things actually work in practice.
There are exemptions in the law for this exact matter. It states of the punishment is unreasonably hard on the owner they can get it back
