Getting fucked by the system is quick and efficient.

Fighting back against the system is difficult and costly.

Unless you're wealthy, all by design of course.

The problem here isn't that wrongful arrest is legal, it's that it's inconsistently enforced. So the solution isn't to make new laws, but to restructure policing so there's an incentive to enforce the laws we have.
