Under Color Of Law

UNDER COLOR OF LAW

Police officers, prison guards and other government officials who improperly abuse the rights of individual Americans have long been recognized in federal law as a threat to society as a whole. That's why, immediately after the Civil War, Congress approved Title 18 USC 242 -- a statute making it a crime to deprive any person of their rights "under color of law."

But, as case-by-case Justice Department records make very clear, a law on the books does not always translate into a law that is enforced. In this particular case, for example, the latest available Justice Department data show that federal prosecutors declined to file charges against virtually all -- 98.7% -- of the individuals who the investigative agencies had concluded were in violation of 18 USC 242.

Isn't that so believable?

The characters that enacted the law won't enforce it.

I see two solutions:

Our own courts styled after the Constitution,

and

Commercial Liens.

Oh yeah, I forgot the gallows. (If you build it they will come)
