That is the bis American problem. You've got mostly good laws, but nobody seems to follow them anymore. A kind of anarchy, but from the top instead from the bottom.
A lot of it has to do with the corrupt ass supreme court shitting on the constitution so they can enrich the guys buying them RVs.
Yes, SCOTUS is a problem here. Having executive, legislation and jurisdiction trying to burn the state down is a real issue. I'm amazed that the US still has some recognizable democratic elements, despite all those attacks on it.
No. No we do not. I mean for Hell's sake we incarcerate way now individuals per capita than any other nation in the planet.
Or so called justice system is fucking horseshit.

No.
