A no-contest plea indicates that while a criminal defendant does not admit guilt, they waive their right to a trial and allow the court to treat them as if they were guilty for the purposes of sentencing.

Honestly, what the fuck is that? Shouldn't even be a thing.

This saves society all lot of time and money. If it works as expected.

My point is if you're going to accept guilty consequences, you shouldn't be allowed to not admit guilt.

I don't really see that it matters. Not so much that it's worth tying up the courts with a bunch of unnecessary trials just because some people are too egotistical to admit fault.
