Not new, such has been the case for most of human history. An honest man is most able to live in the US without being harassed or condemned, more so than at any other time in history. I'm not saying we're done, or that it can't still be bad because it's better than it was, but it's worth remembering that this isn't a solved problem that we're just "too stupid/lazy/greedy/corrupt" to fix. I'd even go so far as to argue that it's human nature to build governments where this is true, and it will never not be true. A critical part of our justice system is the discretion of those who enforce, legislate, and interpret our laws. You can't pretend like laws exist outside of human (read: flawed) implementation, and I feel that this is more severely perpetrated by those in STEM fields because they're used to the rigor that comes with such disciplines whereas the law is a fluid and changing beast.
