Dictatorship of the Law

In our country of laws we live under the dictatorship of the law. The law controls every aspect of our lives. You may think that this is ok. You have nothing to fear as long as you are a law-abiding citizen. But it is enough to be suspected of something to start living in hell. The law is heartless and senseless. This is particularly true when it does not give a damn about justice. The prosecutors’ job is to convict as many people as possible. Thus many innocent people are convicted. Those who can afford expensive lawyers can beat the system.
