Yeah, that may be right when you live in a first word country, but why don't you try living in a third world country under the rule of the military where the law is only used to incriminate innocent people because they spoke up against the tyranny and corruption.

Here in Algeria, there are 200 [0] innocent people in prisons because they shared their opinions on the Interwebs. Being a criminal is no longer an excuse, dictators will do anything to stay in power, they don't care if what you're doing is illegal or not, they will silence any individual who stands in their way and you're providing them the means to do so.
