How much do Intellectual Property lawyers make?

Justifiable reasons for disliking cops, lawyers, judges, etc?

• I know what most of you are probably thinking, and that's "Oh boy, another person who doesn't like cops doing their job, hhurrr". I hate cops, lawyers, judges all of them. I hate cops cause they have so much power to violate rights of people and others. I do understand and realize, there are a couple bad apples, but then again, who am I to consider what a cop has to a person justifiable, we all have our own sense. I'm sick and tired of always hearing about cops this and cops that. A cop in Colorado just got away with prostitution and selling meth. Now, how many days did he get? 38 days. Just 38 Days. You know what would have happened if they would have caught someone that wasn't a cop, that person would be facing his life in prison? That's just bullshit. Now for another perspective, "When you need the cops, you won't be saying that!" Well, I call bullshit on that as well. I heavily support my 2nd amendment rights. The 2nd amendment is one of the greatest things this country ever made. And I'm not saying that because I'm a gun fanatic, I believe I entirely should have the right to arm and protect myself against any situation. In the case commonly referred to a man will break into my house and most people use the quote for that. First off, if a man broke into my house, he better hope he breaks the **** out. I will use my right to protect myself and I don't want a cop to tell me what is right and wrong in that situation, stay the **** away from my property, pretty simple. In the case that a person doesn't do that, there are 2 chances. 1st chance, the criminal will get away, with what he stole, the cops will not go the length to search for him. 2nd chance, if he is armed and that person isn't, chances are, he's riddled with bullets cause he couldn't protect himself. It's crap. Now my reason for hating lawyers, I hate the fact, that there is some, hidden, incredibly dead text book language, that can justify and write the lines that could potentially make a person in prison for life, dead, or the wrong person free. (Once again, who am I to say wrong/right). And everyday I look at congress just to see my rights and others getting stripped 1 by 1. When is this so called "Law" justifiable and not just another way to get people locked up for private interest? I think we crossed that line years and years ago. I like to think our freedoms are getting very limited, and I think we all need to take a step back and look at the big picture. What are some of your opinions on my reasons, and is this justifiable?

• Answer:

  Yes. There is a ton of corruption- what about the judges in Pa who put young kids in jail Not because they deserved it but for profit? They had contracts with private juvenile detention centers and got thousands in kickbacks for incarcerating thousands of kids who were either in for very minor infractions or sometimes just picked up and wrongfully imprisoned. The only reason this case broke wide open by the way is because several of the teens committed suicide while in prison! But for all the horrible cases of abuse - there are needs to imprison some real hard criminals.But I think our whole society now builds up our fears to such ridiculous levels we keep building more prisons then we really need ( do we really need to imprison pot smokers?) and all the news, criminal shows and constant focus on the most horrible crimes( which are few ) makes us want more and more arrests and convictions to have this ZeRO tolerance. Our politicians love to play on these fears.... What we have done is created a criminal industry that is dependent on crime to survive.THINK of all the businesses created around a court house and how they depend on people to come to the court house and eat in their restaurants etc. Parole officers, lawyers, court reporters etc it goes on and on. We are now so dependent on crime for a paycheck- WHAT would we do if the magic pill was created to make crime go away 100% in every city? The effect of no crime in cites might be MORE catastrophic than crime itself!
