The law is seldom fair

With the thousands upon thousands of laws in modern societies, everybody is a criminal at one time or another. 

Some say it is intentionally set up that way, to make us all vulnerable to prosecution if someone with power wishes to make it so.

Those with the most money or who have connections in high places tend to escape the law and in some cases can literally get away with murder. 

In many countries political opponents of those in power are prosecuted, jailed or worse.

The law is seldom fair in its judgements and in which groups it targets.

It is said the golden rule applies to law making. That is, the people with the gold make the laws and tend to be beyond the reach of the law while the poor are victimised by it.

Laws are often racist and classist in their creation and application, designed to target social groups which the ruling class wish to either control or destroy.
