It does not increase respect for the law when people perceive that the law is not applied uniformly for all segments of society We are unfortunately beyond that. Law has never been uniformly applied. Law and justice are two completely different and often incompatible creatures. Anyone who believes that there is uniform justice under law is woefully wrong. I have seen terribly unjust things be done in the name of "law." It is a good ideal that breaks down utterly in the real world. Celebrities get better justice than non-celebrities, rich people get better justice than non-rich, powerful corporations get better justice than the small business owner.......some ethnic groups get better justice than others. And it is becoming increasingly so. It's a very imperfect thing, this business of trying to achieve a "moral" order out of chaos. I'm not sure it is possible. I've seen enough of it to know I'm not going to stand at the empty crosswalk in an empty street at 3 a.m.in the morning in the driving rain waiting for the "walk" sign to go on. Yeah, I would have disobeyed the law during Prohibition without thinking twice about it. Don't give me law, give me justice and fairness.
