That’s because the justice system exists to turn a profit for the government.

The poor pay the most. The rich the least.

It's not like I was happy about getting a £35 fine for parking in a disabled bay with a missing sign, but that sets the bar pretty low...
Jonesso
Well it might help if there was more people working for the justice system and a bigger focus on prevention of corruption

Didn't the IRS say they didn't have enough money to audit the wealthy?
PhailRaptor
Maybe if they did audit the wealthy, they'd have enough money to continue auditing the wealthy

Ken Ley was George W. Bush's personal friend. He died awaiting trial for his crimes running Enron.

We don't have a "justice system" in the US. We have a "legal system" and it's very much so broken and only getting worse...

Millionaires and billionaires can park their cars wrong because they can afford to pay the fine. It's chump change for them.
DarthShelob
Are we just going to ignore that tag?
LagIncarnate
You're right, how could I have ignored memes? Thank you DarthShelob for righting this drastic wrong, may your day be fruitful.

The only time I ever look at tags or usernames is when a comment specifically calls them out.

I mean who DOESN’T get aroused by fiberglass insulation?!

Tbh I'm more of a foam insulation guy.

If the justice system made more money off of high profile crimes than petty ones, i bet we'd see alot more billionaires behind bars

A brawl is surely brewing!

Hard to police those who put you in power
LeakyBunghole
Yeah tbh I’d rather have it be some rich asshole than some dictator or bureaucratic asshole than can put me in a gulag if I complain
DrMaggot
What about neither of those?
originalone
We have a rich asshole dictator so it turns out you can have your cake and eat it too

Who has a dictator

The justice system is a spider web it only catches flies and small insects the big beetles fly right on through been that way since ever

Dude, have you ever heard of punctuation?

Well we should definitely stop electing spiders.

Easy fix, anonymous prosecution. The judge/jury cant ever see the name/face/gender/race of the accused.

We need one of those bird catching spider webs then.

The whole soundtrack is awesome.
True, but only that song will be in Smash Bros.

Well, to be fair, parking tickets and corruption are handled by different law enforcement groups.
rosebudthesled
None of it is fair.

Ding. Parking tickets are revenue, justice is... hopefully something else. Either way, priorities.
NyQuilDaydream
Maybe we need to put the meter maids on corruption cases
harambedaycare
And who decides what their priorities are is the point.

Oooh solved! It's just different systems! Omg! Wow!

NY is taking steps to level the playing field. We no longer have bail on any non violent crimes. There is a lot of controversy surrounding..
.it. But at least a poor man will get treated the same as a rich man before trial. Maybe that's next. I doubt it tho. Btw I don't like Cuomo
Does the U.S. use progressive fines anywhere? Because we need that shit. If the rich want to break the law, they'll pay out the ass for it.
They do make examples of some but it's usually "Who you know"
Making an example of someone isn't justice, to me. "Giving this guy 20 years for smoking pot ought to teach them!" is not how it should work
I was speaking of rich people. Also, the system is not fair
I'm aware. I still don't agree that "making an example" of someone is proper justice, rich or poor.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Unless the increase starts at like the $600k income level, this is unfair
I didn't mention any specific percentages, so I'm not sure where you're conjuring up "unfairness" from.
i never said you did. i've seen a lot of people bring up progressive fines and they don't understand that just because you make $250k per
year, you're not automatically rich, especially if you live in certain places, especially if you have children, etc
