Try to look at this from other angles too. If you were robbed, or someone close to you was the victim of crime, would you call the police?

If you have the conviction that the system the police supports is so incorrect and unfair, then surely you cannot use that system for your ends? Therefore if someone acted in a "criminal" way towards you, as defind by our system of justice, your only solution is to suck it up, or, retaliate directly?

Begin to see any problems with this type of society? Yes, a small percentage of those in power may be corrupt, however, I am not convinced that a system without rules, where each individual can act as they wish, would be such a paradise......
