the spirit of justice

In the United States, where the prohibition of alcohol was implemented at the time, the bootlegging activities in Chicago were rampant, and there were sometimes underworld forces fighting for it, and the people were very angry. A task force headed by Treasury Commissioner Ness is tasked with investigating local bootlegging and the resulting violence. Through the disdainful efforts of Ness and his core team and the huge cost, Capone, the leader of Chicago's largest bootlegger, was finally brought to justice. Ness, of course, was well-known, and just as he was about to leave quietly, a reporter walked up to him to congratulate him and informed him that he planned to write an article on the feat. Ness didn't get too excited, he was still in grief over the loss of his life and death brother, and he was deeply stabbed by so much violence in Chicago. In response, he simply and self-effacingly said, "I just happened to be there when the wheel went round." The following reporter casually revealed to him: I heard that the government is about to lift the prohibition on alcohol. What do you think of this? On the face of it, the lifting of Prohibition seems to be the greatest irony of his previous life and death, since all he did was crack down on bootlegging. But the protagonist, Ness, as an out-and-out legal defender, has no regrets about this, and his ironic answer is awe-inspiring while using the last second to sublimate the film. He put it lightly: I think I will have a drink.

Yes, the current law may have flaws and loopholes in one way or another, but the law is the law. In a society ruled by law, the law is always above all else. Even if the current law is unreasonable, this must be changed by amending the law. In particular, the law enforcement link, which is also the judicial link, should resolutely take the law as the yardstick and should not be mixed with any personal feelings. Otherwise, it is rule of man rather than rule of law. The ultimate mission of the Ness should be to uphold the dignity of the law, not to combat bootlegging. Moreover, it may be completely contrary to their personal preferences. Ness are true legal cornerstones!

At the same time, I think that in fact, many things have been repeatedly attacked and unfavorable, and the method of dredging often achieves unexpected results, just like when Dayu controlled the flood. my country has always adopted a high-pressure policy on pornography, gambling, and drugs. Given the enormous destructive power of drugs, there is no doubt that they should be cracked down. However, there are many different views on Huang Hegao, and it seems that some people's congressmen have suggested that it should be gradually released. I won't say whether it should be suppressed or eased, but I'm just thinking: if these two items are really released after a few years, will there be reporters who will interview the public security police who have been fighting pornography and gambling for many years on the front line , ask them how they feel? Will they also answer lightly and humorously: buy a playboy after get off work or try their luck at the casino.
