Actually, I'm very confident that I do not engage in any behavior that is punishable with jail time.
Claiming that our current system of laws was created in order to be able to target people at will is an extraordinary statement that will require some pretty strong evidence.
- westbywest 10y agoWhile I can have no idea what you would deem to be strong evidence, swift Googling can point you to published research from sociologists, et al, about bias and other behaviors that make the justice system dramatically less impartial than it's intended to be. Recent WaPo story, for example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/24/researchers-have-discovered-a-surprising-racial-bias-in-the-criminal-justice-system/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/24/resea...
