IMHO: Laws are irrelevant to people who can afford to buy their way out. See #PrinceAndrew. It's not people that have a price. It's a system that puts a price on breaking laws. Simple. And it's just bad. IMHO.
Court systems seems like a kind of punish-and-pay system or or pay-to-play system instead of true justice and humanness in reasonnig... any comment more is really not needed...
People miss the very obvious that it's al by design the way (starting from land being captured maintained perhaps) with plenty of legal exits or excuses for themselves that comes with the privilege with authority assumed in making games for others while not applying to them :D CLASSIC!
You know same with parents / other authority "because I said so' !!!!
So while I don't want to serve that or assume it's all true, I do give credit for architects since time has gone on to create such primitive-advanced ways to make things how they are and to allow higher level people to do what they want sometimes with their whole menu of excuses like cards ranging from healthy and safety or to blatant ruling.... just another matrix perhaps. So when it's time to serve themselves (again) or their interests it can happen.
No matter what the rules then reasons are problaby a wich fallback...
What for others the court plays or the front is quite different it seems. A pleasantly coloured fascia for the raw internals do the same thing the did before... RULE!
They reserve the right to do as they please and what works for them as assumed owner of the country itself to get with things they want, and to back it up with and claim they own things (as in privatised)... etc while people follow or as hired/paid staff to do the jobs one way or the other and to progress the empires income (not it's people so much).
Crack the puzzle of how to work for ourselves and we can work to lessen the grip of those others... I know I'm waiting here as a resource but sometimes people trust the court and establishment that trusting/building with each other! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Probably present folks are not included in the practice of trust thing but I'm sure you (plural/world) can tell me how I can help more! Just ask!)
