Let's here it for taxpayer supported rule of law.

My daughter's pocket was picked the other day. It turns out you can get your driver's license replaced for free if you file a police report. We asked if she was going to do that and she said "That depends on how much it costs."

Huh?

"Well, yeah. It depends on how much it costs to file a report with the police."

"What do you mean? It's free."

After a bit of back and forth, we realized that she spent some college summers in the Dominican Republic and Tanzania. There, it seems, the police serve only those who can afford them. If you want service, you pay directly.

We might have some issues with who the police serve in the USA, but I am happy to live in a country where the presumption is that anyone who is wronged has a chance at justice.
