Hence the term I've been using for a while: "Justice Industry"
There is more incentive to make new laws and regulations, and charge citizens with "crime" because all of these people (lawyers, lawyers who become judges, police admin, jail admin, prison admin, special-interest, ad nauseum) need to keep their jobs. I mean, it is the standard operating procedure for any organized government to constantly exert more control over daily life, but technology has just turned it into an absolute nightmare.
The high rate of incarceration (let alone criminal proceedings) in this country is a travesty.
