i think it may be more of a distrust of those in power. i think the old adage "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" would fit really well here. without concrete, albeit confusing and intricate, procedures and rules for the court and police to follow, what is to stop them from absuing their power? one guy on a power trip with nothing to keep them in check could do a lot of damage. and i personally trust enough in human nature to expect that to happen if given the chance.
