    If people know they can commit major league crimes and not be investigated, charged or convicted, then they have no incentive to obey the law.

    Most people don't care what the laws are.

    It's not like people are all walking around not being thieves and murderers because of laws.
    It's not like laws against thieving and murder have done much if anything to eliminate thievery and murder.

    This is very much mistaken. All of the relevant data suggests that the vast majority of people don't avoid doing bad things because they're inherently good but because they're inherently cowards and are afraid of the legal consequences of committing crimes if they get caught.

    You have some Pollyanna tendencies as it is, so I think it's natural for you to assume this, but it's just (unfortunately) not the case.

    Your world view is so unforgiving. Who hurt you, spoony? Who didn't forgive you?
    lol

    Drop some data, then, cuckstain, and maybe I'll change my mind.

    The original Stanford prison experiment (and all of its subsequent reiterations) are a good place to start.
