Code of Silence

God's Law

Every member of the society enjoys equal protection under the Law, and there is no class of uniformed thugs who enjoy a monopoly on violence with impunity, nor monopoly on arrest, nor monopoly on making others comply with their whims or tyrannical encroachments. Responsibility is a two-way street and there is one law for everyone in the society, from the least to the greatest.

Man's Law

The society is stratified into castes where some castes enjoy immunity protection under the law and monopoly on indiscriminate violence. For the members of the lower castes – those who have no access to the levers of political power – there is seldom any recourse against injustice committed by those of the more privileged castes. Even when they are allowed to seek compensation or indemnity, it must be done through a laborious and expensive judicial and bureaucratic process, whereas the privileged government criminals have the luxury of being able to commit their crimes with impunity right away, with weapons in their hands. At the end, the government criminal is either not punished or is punished much less severely than a member of the lower castes would be punished for the same crime.
