The laws of the US have always been crafted to protect the interests of the elite, not the industrious.

Sure has.

And even policing protects local monied interests.

One case was someone who used their bike as their vehicle put a tracker on it. Was stolen. Tracker dutifully said where it was. Went to police station, they did absolutely shit. They were handed the bike receipt, token receipt, and realtime log. They DGAF.

Years ago, worked at Walmart. They illegally edited my hours and thieved $100 and change. Put in police report, was told "CIVIL MATTER".

But if you stole $100 from a register, off to jail you go.

The laws protect monied interests and the elite, not the masses.
