This sort of action is deliberate. I have been incarcerated before. The system is deliberately designed to make a disadvantage for anyone representing themselves pro se because the system is inherently corrupt with millions of innocent people from all races and genders being arrested for crimes they are not guilty of but cannot fight back because they cannot afford a high dollar attorney. The jail I was in, they had a fantastic law library with modern technology and access to all the same resources a criminal trial attorney would have access to... except we were not allowed to use it. We were forced to use a crap, low-power tablet running an old version of Android that only had access to a few resources, no word processor, no digital law library access, etc. The system sets you up to fail at every opportunity because once you beat your case, you can file a civil rights lawsuit under federal laws and those cost these corrupt districts millions per every case they lose. The goal is to deny your rights without making it obvious they are doing so.
