Used to. And no, I didn’t move.
Australia. Yes… for now.
In Spain.
Not at all. Law is ridiculous and judges are even more ridiculous.
Yes, actually. Canada has really felt like it’s moving in the right direction, although it’s been slow and rocky.
lol
No
No
But also I’m Brazilian. “The law is just a suggestion” is ingrained into the fundamental flesh of our culture. People who are sticklers for the law are setup and punchline all in one here.
Lol no
I am an anarchist. Make your inferences as to how that answers your questions from there.
No

Am Australian.
I live in Germany. A court just fined a politician for criticising the conservative party (CDU) because it was working together with the fascist party (AfD). The CDU sued him and won. Not the first time a judge supported the right wing either.
That’s all you need to know, really.
I had heard that they were going to ban the afd (some court?) . Is that not happening?
Any justice system is well adapted to how society was in the near past.
There could be improvements, a major overhaul of the sentencing scale for example. Over the years there have been increased sentences for some crimes but not others which can create funny technicalities that if you threaten someone with a weapon you get a lesser sentence than just handling an illegal weapon.
Over all it’s good, not excellent.
For a layperson I have a very good knowledge of my country’s laws, but there are more laws I don’t know than I do know, so I can’t really answer this question. The laws I know I understand, and thus they seem reasonable enough for me.
How they are enforced though… With high burden of proof comes low rates of convictions, for better and worse. I’m privileged enough that the system mostly works in my favour so can’t really speak on that either, as I lack nuanced experiences.
Personally I’m more happy to not have been sentenced for any of my own potential infractions, than I am pissed to have my offenders/attackers never even questioned by police. I can get justice in other ways than through criminal law anyway.
Not a huge fan of the restrictions of liberty here in Australia. No free speech. Banned books with 15year prison for owning. Speed limits are too low. Marijuana is illegal. National parks are being closed to public. No gun rights. No right to silence.
Other than that we probably have one of if not the best system in the world.
Few disappointments with laws themselves, but the courts are completely fucked. Especially now.
I guess in theory most laws in Canada make sense. Court process is slow though. I think drugs should be decriminalized
