I think this depends on what you define as "abuse". Many suspects are railroaded into plea-bargains to avoid bankruptcy or the risk of more severe charges regardless of actual guilt[1]. There are also abuses like civil asset forfeiture or false DMCA takedowns that rarely see any punishment.

I think it's possible to get justice in the US court system if you have money. This isn't really "rule of law" as one might commonly think of it though.
