I suspect that judiciary courts in the U.S. are trying single members of conspiratorial groups instead of every member of the group, and expecting the rest to behave themselves after a guilty verdict is handed down to the accused. Those others who have committed the same crimes are not behaving themselves out of a sense of fear, though. Thus, it may be in the country’s best interests to try ALL cases on an individual basis instead of relying on a non-existent at worst, one-size-fits-all at best, public morality to do the work for them. The alternative, group trials and punishments, would destroy most of the country via misappropriated guilt in a for-profit prison and fine system.
Furthermore, unions are illegal in places like Texas and elsewhere in the U.S., so there isn’t always an organizational structure present within communities that is able to distribute the common understanding of the law. That means there isn’t always a way to inform people who should be aware of rules about what rules are to be followed.I have never been one to rush out and call for legal action when things get bad, because the fines usually only serve the government and it’s ancillary structures, and the true victims, the American people, are left with meager benefit, as is the case in class action lawsuit settlements that amount to little more than a meal’s worth of money. What can you do? To quote a famous thinker, “Neuter Lawyers, Not Cats.”
