The right of habeas corpus is the constitutionally bestowed right of a person to present evidence before a court that he or she has been wrongly imprisoned.
The law just can't keep you locked up, execute you, or decide your fate without a determination of whether you've committed a crime or not.
Section 9 of the US constitution states - The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

Since September 11th, Habeas Corpus has been suspended and the government has the right to execute enemy combatants without trial. They've also passed law that they can execute American citizens without trial as well if they are considered a threat.
President Bush and Lincoln are the only two presidents to suspend Habeas Corpus and it is still currently suspended under the Obama administration (2010) giving the federal government full rights to assassinate whom ever they deem necessary without accusation or trial.

If you're accused of indecent exposure in a balmy sunny locale where many of da nearby humans are "in da buff" as well, you could always petition da court for a writ of Habeas Corpus Christi.

Hym "Yeah, I'M AWARE! And now that is happening to Mexicans... ONLY NOW is it a problem. I'm still waiting for the shit-libs to realize that the conservatives are now doing to everyone what everyone has been doing to me. They said 'We don't have to give Hym Habeas Corpus... We can just lie to punish Hym for saying things we don't like and pretend we didn't see Hym create AI or that weaponized schizophrenia isn't a problem by presupposing that the people it's happening to are the problem.' And then then negative consequences of that exact decision start to pile up... They blame me for though consequences and/or ignore them entirely because me being worse than a retard is more important to them than anything. Up to and including your children's lives."
