Okay, it's probably just me but it sounds like there's a trip-up point in the argument. On one hand, you specify that the police are too loose in their implementation of justice, there is not enough oversight, or that they are hired for their corruption status, and that has lead to decay in the concept of right and wrong, also allowing them to hide behind this draconic rulebook. On the other hand, here you angst that the structure of society conduct - law - is what makes crimes good or bad, which would mean any official that upheld "true" justice would have to have even more personal discretion in fulfilling his role and less solid accountability. This roundabouts back to the beginning of the thread with the cult of Justitia reference someone made. Can you help clarify this point for me, what you mean?
