Don't discount the capriciousness of the law's execution. In many cases, being the right skin color and wealthy comes across like a superpower compared to Joe Average. I'd hazard a guess that many "use code for law" types basically want to put Lady Justice's blindfold back.
That doesn't mean it's a good idea, nor that is bad. It comes from good intentions, is all.
(Very aware that those can be used for paving certain roads)

So, yeaaaah, not holding my breath. :)
