Who watches the watchmen? Many laws are unjust, unfair and oppressive.

La majestueuse égalité des lois, qui interdit au riche comme au pauvre de coucher sous les ponts, de mendier dans les rues et de voler du pain.

Yes, I am serious. As a judge I hear a lot of people complaining about the laws (in Germany, that's the point). But when I ask them to give examples, they get always quiet.

Thats not an answer.

People have different opinions about what should be the law.

But we have a current set of valid laws in Germany. That can be a starting point.

You have laws that are valid by definition. You do not have laws everyone agrees with and so there is the problem.
