things. As nice as it would be to pass a law and have it universally
applied, it doesn't happen. It doesn't make the law invalid when a
police officer or a beaurocrat fail to apply it appropriately. Failure
to appropriately apply laws is a cause for criticism of those
responsible for applying the law, not criticism of the law (or the
system) as a whole. Failure of the letter of the law to provide what
we feel to be a moral and egalitarian state is cause for criticism of
the law (or the system) as a whole.
