Talking about law and order in my country is not really my favorite topic specially if i am far from it and more than that comparing to my current location New Zealand, which is by far the most transparent and non-corrupted one.
It is been said that there is permanent smell of something "under the table" which could make you feel sick and tired.It seems as if the majority of Policeman in my country have an amazing ability to interprete all the rules and regulations for their own benefits. In the view of many people Lawyers have a tremendous capacity for vending the facts and regulations corresponding to their own vested interestes. Injustice is certianly a form of violence, which leads to more problematic situations.There has been have many idealistic people who wanted to changed these, and everybody knows is a dunting field.Generally speaking the main issue is that society has assumed this pattern as a normality: you can break the rules, just make sure you got the money to fix it up.
Gratefully there has been an increasing percentage of people, particularly among the young generation who is more conscious about the legal rights and forsee the need for making a decision once and for all.
'A permanent smell of something under the table'- what a great sentence...
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty miserable that the people who enforce the law and are supposed to protect you can bend the rules and profit from it.
In NZ, there has been a case in the news recently about an innocent man who was imprisoned because the police were sure that he murdered two people, and planted evidence in the garden which led to his conviction. This happened in the 50s and the man was later found innocent and released from prison but the police officers involved haven't been held accountable. I think they want everyone to forget about it but the convicted man's daughter is demanding the case to be looked at again. I hope it goes ahead. Poor guy being in prison for years....
