I agree with your sentiment, but clearly "the bigger problem" is that the system is corrupt.

- _jal 6y agoYou don't get one without the other. The collection of all laws is such that even, consistent application would be untenable. That which cannot work, doesn't; instead, enforcement becomes selective. At that point, you're doomed; your system only works by being a system "...of people, not laws".
- s1artibartfast 6y agoI disagree. I think this type corruption is inevitable when you have legal system where the police are responsible for arbitrarily enforcing the law on an arbitrary subset of offenders. If you remove or universally enforce the law, the grey area for this type of corruption will go away.
- thereisnospork 6y agoSure the system is corrupt, but selective enforcement is how corruption happens. Remove the mechanism and there stops being anything to be corrupt over. If everyone got pulled over and ticketed for speeding, every time, it would be impossible to e.g. pull over black drivers disproportionately, or give a warning in exchange for a PBA card.
