    Good point,can’t argue with that.First of all the idea of police,law etc. was originally supposed to be “serve and protect”.Used to be that a policeman or policecar was a visible presence.Ie:you see a police car on the side of the road,it reminds you to slow down,pay attention.Now the police car hides out of sight,waiting to catch someone.I don’t know if it’s money that has caused this in some way(probably),but it seems like backwards thinking to me.Thanks

    @Tim Metcalfe
    Good stuff, and to add to it, I would like to say that law has another effect on the psychology of people as well. By saying, “you can’t do this” or “you can only do that this way”, humans, in my experience, including my self, have a will of their own, and by threatening that will causes resistance.

    We are all conditioned to be resistant when being regulated by the very society that is trying to regulate us in that it makes us independent. Being independent is drilled into a lot of us as we grow into adulthood probably for the reasons that we can survive in this society in the time that may call for independence. Whatever the reason for it, I still stand by my experience and also admit the powerful urge to resist regulation of any kind.

    It’s not that I want to kill someone for example, but to tell me not too is insulting!
