Of course law doesn't work that way. Law is inherently complicated because it needs to be abused only by those with the proper resources. Also - literally nobody fucking cares how the law works unless it's a step between where you are and where you need to go. At which point rich people will hire others to get over the step, and poor people will just jump over the step. Rich people will get away with it and get a slap on the wrist, and poor people will suffer the full wrath of the system, to make sure everyone else knows it's for real and doesn't question the authority of those in charge. Rich people are free, poor people are held hostage within the system and cannot break out. Law doesn't establish morality of actions or justice, it doesn't prevent or punish what society deems evil, it just separates those who can get away with their actions from those who can't.
Kill your masters.
What a childish and ignorant opinion. Do you know how many people executed in history without even hearing about what they were accused of? Or do you know how many people didn't even have the chance to defend themselves because ignorant people like you felt like that they know they are guilty? Or how many people are lynched in the streets because someone said they are guilty? History is full of such examples. Blaming the law and asking for anarchy is not a solution. Who's going to stop the powerful in your utopia from taking everything from you? How it's different than your rich gets to do all claim? Law is complicated because law deals with human relations, action and their results when you come up with a simple human civilization you can make simple laws. This modern society that you despise that gave you all these amenities came as a result of laws that you despise. You wanna go back be my guest go establish your own state let's see how long you and your like minded people will stay alive.
