Document Summary
The absolute ability to identify all law violators. The absolute ability to apprehend all law violators. The absolute ability to punish all violators. The absolute ability to identify the intent of all law violators. Murder of a police officer- 2:3 (67%) Absolute justice demands that all violators be punished or no violators be punished. It is inequitable to the law abridgers who are punished to allow another law abridger to roam free unpunished. It is inequitable to the law abiders of society if a known law abridgers are allowed to roam free and unpunished. Guilty are punished more severely than they should be. Guilty are punished less severely than they should be. There is a general socio-economic clustering of the four classic justice delivery errors, with the general convergence of error as follows: poor: Innocent being punished and being punished more severely than they should be: wealthy: Escaping punishment when guilty and being punished less severely than they.
