We have a number of holes in our legal system. The cause is not what you say, even if it's very reasonable. The cause is where we came from and technical debt after so many years of patches. We suffered a dictatorship until 1975. The climate was against police and pro-reo. It was good to abolish capital punishment and other relics. But we swinged too much the other way. A more dramatic example is how people under 18 can get away with rape and murder, just a slap in the wrist. Also parole is almost a given after doing half the sentence. So effectively our longest punishment is 15 years. That has changed for rapists and terrorists, but it's basically true for most other crimes. |
