“ما هو القانون ؟ هل ما يوجد في الكتب، أم يُطبق بالفعل ، ويتبعه المجتمع؟ أم أنَّ القانون هو ما يجب تطبيقه و اتباعه ، سواء كان في الكتب أو لم يكن ، وإن كانت الأمور تسير على ما يرام أما لا ؟”
“Hiçbir ülkede hiçbir yasa iyi değildir. Nedeni apaçık ortada: Yasalar zamanına, yerine, gereksinmelere, olanaklara göre yapılmıştır.”
“As soon as you say, I m going to use the legal system to impose my will on you, you re buying into a lie, schlichtmann said. You ll get chaos, and the system will dissapoint you. You ll get decision-making that only makes sense in Bedlam. We think the legal system is there for us, but it s not. It s there only for itself.”
“A state which savagely represses or persecutes sections of its people cannot in my view be regarded as observing the rule of law, even if the transport of the persecuted minority to the concentration camp or the compulsory exposure of female children on the mountainside is the subject of detailed laws duly enacted and scrupulously observed.”
“I am far more fearful of the police than I am of North Korea.”
“She raised her voice, reminding him that he was a doctor, that his first priority was to help the sick, and he shot back that helping the sick was subject to the law, too; it wasn t just every man for himself.”
“There is nothing more important than love. And no law higher. - Malcolm Fade”
“There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt. Love is the law, love under will.”

“The law itself was originally created in order to protect property. However, the law has been falsely attributed to being the reason property exists in the first place. At least, this is what the state would have us believe. The law does not create property rights because these already existed before the law was created. It is this false attribution that allows the state apparatus to conduct its mission of expropriation.”
“It is when the colors do not match, when the references in the index fail, when there is no decisive precedent, that the serious business of the judge begins”
“When it is a law abiding common person versus the police internal affairs regarding a corrupt or incompetent police officer, the statistics show that it is the common person that most frequently loses.”
“The law doesn t require truth, only the appearance of it. Most cases simply rest on a version of it that s acceptable to both sides. You want to know the only truth is? Everybody lies.--Elwin Stark”
“Sam Temple was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Los Angeles, where there were specialists there in burn injuries. He wasn’t consulted: he was found on his knees, obviously in shock, extensively burned. EMTs took over. Astrid Ellison was taken to a hospital in Santa Barbara, as was Diana Ladris. Other kids were shared out among half a dozen hospitals. Some specialized in plastic surgery, others in the effects of starvation. Over the next week all were seen by psychiatrists once their immediate physical injuries were addressed. Lots of psychiatrists. And when they weren’t being seen by psychiatrists, they were being seen by FBI agents, and California Highway Patrol investigators, and lawyers from the district attorney’s office. The consensus seemed to be that a number of the Perdido survivors, as they were now known, would be prosecuted for crimes ranging from simple assault to murder. First on that list was Sam Temple.”
“One of the most corrosive aspects of the criminal justice system is its toleration of the insanity defense...Legitimate in some few cases, the insanity defense has been rendered farcical through its manipulation by so-called experts.”
“If you want to kill someone and get away with it, become a cop.”
“Quem não tenciona satisfazer não regateia condições no contratar.”
