I echo your sentiment, however after being called into jury service in New Zealand, I was dismayed to discover first hand that the probability of a fair hearing in court is based on the degree to which you can afford a defence. My perspective now is to avoid legal problems at nearly any cost, but to also advocate for understanding, respect--and when necessary--defence of the Law. To give an example, I believe Trey Gowdy (the U.S. Representative) is a shining example of this approach and if you are interested I would recommend watching a few of his speeches on YouTube.
