The Law is normally there only as punishment, maybe deterrent
but the Law seldom can be a preventor,.
Not possible to make laws to prevent this or that, because human
react so differently, in the end will have thousands of laws and
still cannot cover everything.
So the Law is there to hantam you if you get caught. Like the
60kmh rule, nobody drives at 60kmh, even TP knows that, but they
must have some system in place as a yardstick. Why 60kmh, because
that speed you can jam brake and stop in 1 car length.
The Law can try to be fair at most times, but sometimes it's
unfair, because life is unfair, some ppl commit big case can become
small, some commit small can become big.
But overall our standard of law is not so bad, not the best but
can do. In some countries like China, N Korea it's too strict, in
others like India, even say Malaysia, it's good on paper but
corruption affects it's implementation and enforcement.
Yeah... i guessed there are always "loopholes" for lawyers to
"explore" and defend their clients... haha.
