I can understand these feelings, but one of your most powerful checks and balances against a tyrannical government is your Jury Nullification Right to judge not just the facts, but the law itself and if you think the law is bad or the punishment does not fit the crime then you not only can but must vote innocent. This is to stop the courtroom politicians, prosecutor and judge from stealing someones person/liberty, life and property. Please visit the webite for the Fully Informed Jury Association at www.FIJA.ORG . Also please read" The Law" by Frederic Bastiat for a good read and a better understanding of good law vs bad law.
