oh that is most certainly true. i always get annoyed when people don't recognize that every utterance can and will be interpreted at least 3 ways you never considered

The biggest issue is one I touched on earlier - the difference between legal and lawful. Most people think that just cuz a law is on the books it applies to them

nope; anti-trust for example

And this is why the justice system doesn't seem to work the way you think it should

customers are NOT competitors; you don't have standing

well, that is part of it

the other part are the changes made during Obama

ARD

For me personally, I have a certain vengeance towards the traffic code, since I got fucked by them for not knowing what I was doing.

Or rather, I knew what I was doing, but didn't stand up for myself on what I knew

ARD was supposed to save the courts money by avoind expensive trials but in reality, it just opened the door to victim culture

3x i was given the choice to pay he 4k or goto trial; i refused to pay him

but the prep for the trial was MORE expensive

I enjoy legal dramas. One of my favorite lines comes from the show "Fairly Legal," which says: "We go to court because we can't solve our own problems."

even though the case was thrown out the day before

SO true

If people were better at dispute resolution, there'd hardly be a need for police, lawyers, and judges

that has always been my personal philosophy; the lawyer is only needed when people aren't willing to work on resolving a problem

there's a book I was reading a while ago

that was talking about the natural progression of things like legal systems

like how many stories have you heard of cops getting called into a school over something the teacher or the principal should have struck down?

yup

teachers used to be an extention of the parent's authority

they were elders in the same community

and the teacher was almost always right no matter how 'unfair'

That in small societies, things like property rights were defended by you and your kin, but as things like blood feuds spun out of control and society grew

now, the kid is almost always right

There's a meme to that effect, which shows parents called into a school before a teacher. In the first image, the teacher looks snobbish and the child guilty, in the latter, it's the reverse, showing how things used to be versus how they are now

it was decided that disputes should be settled by those not involved in the situation

Guys watch this dude
