Agreed, but good luck. The police, the "actual" enforcement arm of the legal system, can pick you up without evidence, steal your money, lie to you until you're tricked into confessing to something you didn't do, and call it a successful mission.
The legal system is not intended to protect innocent people, it is only designed to provide enough protections so that more privileged people feel like it is, and don't side with the victims in trying to destroy/reform it.
- mindslight 3y agoThe "intent" of the legal system was to enable distributed dispensing of the King's justice, at least from what I understand. In the modern day and age, we can say that there are many types of mal-intents behind various laws, but the legal system itself is what we make it. And describing a problem is the first step towards fixing it.
