Post by ModeratorIf you are a good person the law is your friend but if you're
fundamentally corrupt and disregard the importance truth and justice,
the law will eventually get you because the law is specifically
designed to catch and punish bad people; even though they may corrupt
truth in the line of justice for personal gain and be successful at it
for a time, their success is unsound and vulnerable to the truth. Bad
people just need to know they are good people inside and allow
themselves to be good. Good people allow bad people the opportunity to
become good.
Tell that to the fellow who was tasered in the vancouver airport,
or to the roudy that was shot in the back in Smithers while in
custody,
or the other prisoner who was shot in the back in Calgary- while in
custody.
Tell that to all those folks who were falsely convicted and then after
years of incarceration were freed due to witness recant, undisclosed
evidence, DNA, or folks admiting to lying.
The so called "Justice" system is designed in such a way, that if you
are innocent and/or without means, and/or uneducated, and/or a member
of a discriminated group, you are more likely to end up in prison than
if you are guilty, educated, with money, and a member of the ruling
group.
1) If you are innocent, you are less likely to ask for a lawyer
before opening your mouth. If you are guilty, the onley words coming
from your mouth will be asking for a lawyer. With a lawyer on your
side you will not admit anything, while on your own you will say yes
to anything after a few hours of interrogation.
2) If you have money, you can affor the best lawyer money can buy. If
you are poor, you depend on the public defender. In that case, it is
the rool of the dice if you get an apropriate defense.
3) If you are educated, you will know your rights, and will fight for
them. If you are uneducated, anything the system offers you will
sound like a good deal.
4) If you are a member of a discriminated group, you know that the
system is against you, so you know that any deal before the trial will
be better than going to trial and let the press assassinate your
character. If you are a member of the ruling group, you know that the
system will bend backwards to accomodate you.
