The legal system doesn't need to "justify" itself. The legal system is the result of legislators elected by the people. Change comes as a result of the voters sending the desired messages to the legislators.

The rights of an individual can never outweigh the right of the collective. Can you imagine the choas it would cause if everyone was allowed to do as they please? Society has to maintain law and order and sometimes it may seem unfair and unjust but the greater good always has to take precedence.

Our legal justice system is not perfect, but in comparison to other countries it is far superior. The goal of our legal system is justice. Justice is not revenge but the discovery of the truth. However, the quest for justice must also be tempered with moderation.

There are already numerous precedents for which police and law officials have a higher obligation to maintain order than to protect individual citizens. For example, you cannot sue the police for not coming in time to prevent your child's murder. Their obligation is to find and arrest the murderer.

Our legal system is based on the justification that it is better for 100 guilty men to go free than for 1 innocent man to be found guilty.
