What if this someone is wrongly accused of something, can the law system be trusted about its willingness to pursue the truth? Isn't law enforcement sometimes in some places used more as a mean to deliver a scapegoat to the public opinion?[/sblock]I am not so sure... There are so many different circumstances to think about. I've seen towns where the official law itself was just a mean for the local lords to exercise their power over the people, and law didn't equal to justice. Even about Cauldron I have some doubts, I've seen a few guards with a strange look of delight on their faces, when they were only arresting kids guilty of shoplifting.[sblock=Aaron]Meenah shivers as she pictures what those guards could have done to their prisoners. Holy Galarn... an evil corrupted law is even worse than crime itself. At least you can't expect any good from criminals, but how can you live where you can't even trust those who are there to protect you?[/sblock]Of course it depends also on who's the prisoner we're letting go... a small fish that has learned his lesson hopefully is not going to cause harm, and if we're in pursuit of a much more dangerous foe, the consequences of letting the big fish go can be much worse for everyone.</blockquote>
