The Justice System

Ok well, literally a few minutes ago my dad and I got stopped by a policewoman. As soon as she got to the window she was in my dad's face and asked if he was feeling ok. I'll leave it to you to figure out what she was insinuating, but really he just couldn't see very well without his reading glasses and that's why he gave her his credit card instead of his license.

That wasn't fair. She immediately jumped to conclusions and was very rude. And we pride ourselves on our judicial system? Just like when a Al-Qaeda member held in Guantanamo Bay was tried in a civilian court he was acquitted on 284 of 285 charges and only convicted of the one because most of the evidence against him was gained during torture. Some people said that this was why (suspected) terrorists should not be tried in a civilian court. But many said that this was exactly right because the judge wouldn't allow the evidence gained from torture to be used in court, which is the law.* 

In AIS we were also talking about how unfair America's justice system is. How the cards are so stacked against the poor that probably many innocent people are convicted and when the rich are called to court they can walk away with no punishment if necessary because they can afford a good lawyer. But how can 

 the system be changed? Many people like it this way and the poor don't have much of a voice. Can anything be done?
