It is illegal, the government is just not very good at enforcing laws which protect the poor.


Same in the US, of course.

We just have a privatized legal system whereby hotshot attorneys may consider certain pursuits if determined lucrative, and a privatized criminal justice system that favors locking people in concrete cubes for large chunks of their lives.

There’s nothing more humane about it. The effect is merely that “poor people” become “bad people”, “rich people” becomes “heroes”, and suddenly everybody got what they deserved.
