Then we mean different things by "good intentions".

  Good intention still implies that the implementation allows for 'bias'. Prosecutorial bias, judicial bias. Allowed bias is necessarely a bad thing, because that means bad behaviour can be hidden behind a shield of 'plausable deniability'. I think any legal system that allows for prosecutorial and judicial discretion in anything that can lead to criminal charges, is destinet to become a system of entrapment over time. I even have my own 'adage' to offer: 'A bad behaviour rewarded by sufficent increase economic or political power, will eventually corrupt and subvert any law that allows for prosecutorial discretion in determining guilt'
