Wow, this is such a hidden gem! Really enjoying the story and character development despite the lewd scenes being somewhat lackluster. Looks like the next update will resolve what happened at the beginning.

I really like the premise of an addict having to exonerate his sister of a drug crime.
If I could offer one note: Please try to limit the use of flashbacks as much as possible. I noticed they were employed pretty liberally as of late.
Like I said, you've got a compelling story set in the present. Any time spent in the past is time spent on a much less compelling story (of an immature addict ruining his life) and delays progress of the story we're actually interested in.

So, first, most countries have some form of writ of habeas corpus which would immediately stop this whole game in its tracks. Second, the MC is the victim of battery immediately in front of a cop and she tells the VICTIM to calm down. The developer behind this doesn't seem to have enough of an understanding of legal systems that most of us would be familiar with to be making a game like this.
For example, in super liberal Portland OR until very recently the mayor was also in charge of the police. The mayor could give an order to focus on or turn an eye to specific types of crimes, but they would still have no control over the sentence the accused would receive. Most non-socialist countries try to separate branches of the government to PREVENT issues like what is portrayed in this game. The exception does tend to be the leader of a given country and it requiring either national emergencies or declaration of war. (This is one of the reasons the US has constantly been involved in wars for all except a handful of years during its existence.)
Here's the biggest problem - if the drug crimes were racking up as fast as implied and investigations couldn't keep up, it would turn into the situation that much of the US has been in for a couples decades now. Basically, his sister should be getting matrixed, ie booked and released.
Final problem I'd point out with the legal stuff, unless you're in a country that follows a very specific religion, women barely get a tap on the wrist compared to men. Often times repeat female offenders only getting 20-40% of the punishment men do with the same charges and backgrounds.
Just to BEGIN to be believable, the MC and his sister would need to change places. A guy with a criminal background, a history of drug abuse and a tendency towards violent outbursts is someone who could be denied bail and and kept in custody. A woman with none of that? Just doesn't work. There's not enough manipulation you could do to the government to make any of it believable.

This is... quite decent. I noticed some of the dialogs of Lisa were spoken by the MC and often the writing feels off (poor translation?)... even if the story is there.
I really hope the dev continues to work on this and gets more support...
And I don't think the current title really suits the game.
