The justice system in the more developed countries kinda just sucks. You've gotta be veeery meticulous and know the law's loopholes to not get charged with anything, because the other party can do the same right back to you :/ The countries try to be so equal with their laws, that they end up being so grey that the law hardly differentiates between either side, essentially making it come down to which side knows the law well enough to take advantage of and lie about it.
Some really messed up situations from the USA, Japan, etc.'s court case results that are just baffling and are prime examples of why some of these loopholes and conditions just shouldn't exist...

A reminder that these justice systems tend to rely on forcing people to not use the resources available to them (you either take a plea or your sentence gets multiplied exponentially) because the system cannot actually support the volume of cases it deals with.

The whole thing is flawed and needs reform. Way too much power to rich assholes who can delay their cases indefinitely while the poors are fastracked to jail.
