    Or possibly losing your job, healthcare insurance, going bankrupt, etc.

      Yeah, that’s the real threat. An arrest record will absolutely jack up future background checks on future employment. Which you’re going to encounter since your current employer will drop you for being a no-show. That will leave you without health insurance, threatening your savings until you can get employed again. Which will be very hard to overcome due to high unemployment (in some markets) and that arrest record.

      The fact that there’s a through-line from “no social safety net” all the way to “compliant populace” is worrying to say the least.
