We who? Depends what law. If you broke the law that prevents harming other people then sure. If however the law is totally unjust (and some of them really are) they might be criminals only from the point of view of the crooks that make our governments and write laws. Me - I would call them victims of fucked up system where some self-righteous POS dictates how people should live their lives.

And yes. Money talk. The less money one has the less chances to get justice.
