I honestly think rich people get off easier in some cases. Not just the rich but also celebrities. I think as mainly because of the money and because of status of certain people. Because I have seen videos of celebrities not getting in trouble with the police because the police realized who the person was or the status of that person. I'm not saying they get away with it all the time but often I believe do

As far as I know, punishement of similar crimes sometimes depends of the economic status, but many times it is seem disproportionate. When there are fixed fees the richer the better.

I think their contacts can make influential people get off easier, but at the same time if they break the law they will lose part or all of that influence by social punishement.

Yes.

Saudi millionaire who said he 'accidentally tripped and penetrated' teenage girl cleared of rape.
He said it was possible he had semen on his hands from having sex with a 24-year-old woman earlier

No, it's not in Saudi or Qatar. It happend in London and a London court cleared him.

it depends, ususally they can afford better lawyers and are better educated,

but there can be cases where the society wants to punish the rich, like in china where a rich son of communist functionair drive over a girl and she died, he was executed to appease the internet mob.

it depends vastly on the situation in the society

That's the advantage of having huge amount of money. They can do whatever they want, go wherever they want and the likes. If something's happens, theere is their money to back them up. I can't even get away with the fact that justice can be bought. How about the victims? What will happen? They won't be receiving the justice they deserve because they don't have money.  :-[ :-[

I don't know whether it is only in my country but it so happens that the laws exist to protect the rich in my society to the detriment of the poor.
We have the rich flouting the minimum wage rate is flouted with impunity. The poor however are quickly punished for the slightest mistake.
A poor man in my country stole a tuber of yam to feed his family but was apprehended and imprisoned.The rich loot with impunity

Absolutely. It is a widely accepted fact that money influences decisions when it comes to crime. Not least because they can afford the best lawyers, bribes, blood money, etc. Doesn't always hold true, but I'm waiting to get rich before I commit a crime, just in case...

That happens most of the time. Although it is more rampant in the underdeveloped countries, the same pattern can also be observed even in the countries that are as advanced as the United States of America. We know that our society is so hospitable and considerate to rich and influential people. Even the law seems to show its teeth only to the poor and the underprivileged ones. The government can always tame the law for the sake of certain individuals.

Not really. It all depends on the strength of the law in that country. If the country has a strong law, whoever his offender, surely he will get punished. But unfortunately in my own country, the laws are very weak. Therefore many wealthy people do bribe for punishment eliminated

not all rich people escape from the bondage of law, but in fact money has an important role in this problem, the number of these violators often encountered in various lines of life, especially for the rich who use his money to buy his freedom

From my experience on this forum - yes.

Quickseller has always stated he has 100+ bitcoin for lending.  Rich by normal member standards.  He stole 20btc from another scammer and yet he still is allowed to post here as if he has done nothing wrong.  People don't want to speak against him because they hope for a donation in the future.

Money rules everything.  :/

While I think everyone should be equal to the law, isn't in the public's best interest, that someone who is rich(= tax payer probably), could keep paying taxes?
Compared with a drug dealer who doesn't pay any taxes. Is it really wrong for rich people to get off easier?

A great state gives a person a feeling that he has more rights. Therefore, he does not want to share. But less wealthy people cheat less often, because they are more dependent on their community. That is, they do not want to cut the bitches they sit on.
I do not know what to say about the scam, but the arrears on the rent in the house are more often created by wealthy people, rather than pensioners who lay out the last penny just to pay the apartment. At least one time we hung out lists of debtors for rent and the owners of expensive foreign cars standing at the entrances were often at the head of these lists.
Now the lists do not hang out, maybe something has changed.
However, it is the rich who make a significant impact on society.

The society and the community we occupy today is coupled and entangled with in lawless, how then will the rich not go free per reason of their wealth. we are blinded and mislead by so called money that our communities are becoming place of the rich other than a home for all. I personally don’t understand but this has become the most order of the day that where money is nothing is impossible. Most of the rich take the law into their hands and go freely without questioning especially within underdeveloped countries. yes, everything points to this fact that the rich gets off easier when they break the law.

   

to my own understanding and observation of my immediate environment, i think rich people vis-a-vis celebrities get off so easily when they break the law but in most circumstances it depends on the countries. Most especially africa, celebrities and big business men have easily gone off bypassing the laws, but i dont think this is same with the western world. we have had cases where big footballers are sentenced for tax enviction, cases of sexual harrasement where big celebrities like tupac, r kelly even the legend michael jackson have to be sentenced. but this cannot be the case in most africa countries.

The laws, its penalty, and its whole legal procedures and processes are for all and no one is an exemption, as to what its purpose in nature really needs to prevail. However, in reality, it sometimes twisted. Believe it or not, when you're powerful and rich, you would probably get off easier when you break the law. It is for the reason that: (a) money can pay prison bail; (b) money can pay great and the best lawyers in town; (c) money can pay for your security inside the jail and will make your life comfortable inside that cold steel bars and; (d) you may not pay directly your freedom but you can pay people who can give your freedom to you. With your influence and money, you can soon get off.

They just can afford better, sneakier lawyers. I think that's the secret...

There's a great thread on corruption here as well, and sadly I must agree: it is very common in some parts of the world to buy yourself out of the prosecution. Very sad, and in a way I blame the British empire for not paying enough attention (and fighting) this ugliness back in 19th and early 20th centuries, and allowing it to bloom.

I think anywhere in the world, those who have more money really do have more privileges -and that includes getting away with law-breaking. Money equates to power, status, influence and acceptance. The richer you are, the better person you are perceived to be by society. So it also applies in the legal system. Those with more money can be treated with more leniency. And besides, the rich run in the same social circle as the politicians, prosecutors and judges. It really pays to be rich.

I also believe that yes, they do. Other than their social influence, they literally have more money to either hire more competent lawyers, pay off bribes, or pay bail to avoid jailtime.

Moreover, they just have more connections that can get them off the hook faster and better as compared to the poor.

It depends on which law. Speeding laws are indiscriminate. Serious crimes such as murder are not a function of wealth and will attract the same investigation and sentance. Rich people can afford to plan, use third parties, put money into avoiding detection and if caught hire better lawyers.

Yes, I believe it's common for wealthier people to get off easier. I recently watched a video with two young women on death row in the US somewhere. They brought up this fact too. They said there is not a single rich person on death row. The fact is that if you have money in the US you can afford good lawyers. If you have a good lawyer, you're probably going to get off with a much lesser or no punishment. This isn't even taking into account the human factor in interactions with police. If a police officer already knows a person because the person is rich and famous, they may not arrest the person or even give them a fine. This could be due to intimidation or it could just be that they like the person. In some countries, of course corruption lets rich people get off with literally anything.

I think it depends on the prosecutor and the famous person in question. I tend to think celebrities get much harsher punishments than the average public do because they are there to be made an example of. That being said, if Joe Billionaire that isn't in the public eye, and no-one has heard of him or her - usually those guys get off Scott free because they use their money, power and influence to manipulate the courts.

True to a reasonable extent. Money they say is power because it answers ALL things not some and that includes the law. With good money you can buy even the Government over to your side not just the law but you will have Government house move to your house. It is not just in the US alone but all over the world and any place where human exist. Justice is not always on the side of the poor because first of all apart from Pro-Bono lawyers or practitioners. Some people respect money more than the law of the land to such their law is equals to money. So yes the rich can get away with it but their money take the pains.

epstein, weinstein, hillary bill clinton, roman polanski and the list goes on... be a black staight male in the hood with a pipe... u c? by design.

I wish I could say otherwise. But of a truth, this is the case. The judiciary system in majority of the countries around the world is corrupt. Justice is hardly ever gotten. This should not be the case. Sadly and unfortunately, it is what it is. I will hardly ever forget the case of the rape suspect who got just 6 months jail time. Funny enough, he even got out earlier for some reason. We hate so much that such things happen. But there's very little than we do.

hypergamist theory explain it perfectly...

smv : sexual market value.

smv = fame X size X muscular mass X wallet

how to raise smv as a "judicial" ?

fuck the rest of the population to get your whore.

sadly whore is too stupid to see the damage that the semen provider do, in the context of dna digital tracking > execution of the family tree even in a million years :).


victory assured, no rest, no hope... welcome to the "dunyha" :).

wrong we can do very much, first remove the propaganda lies about modern china... then those wanting to enslave and rape and exploit us will not only face modern china, but us too... which makes their farming even more likely.

the goal is to eliminate their family trees. simply.

they have to pay, with everything they took, and it's more than their lives...

mercyless, professional and cold...

it's just pest control.

first let go the tears, let go the dreams, let go the ideals, and learn to hate in love... then let this hate go, and then there is just them standing in the path of life, perfect, they are made to be killed.

I know , I know it's not the happy and loving world, nor just... it's just what it is.

when a bed bugs invade your bed what do you do? freeze them to death? or ask them gentely to stop? this is what they are, the bed bugs of america... and bed bugs too have children...

save the bed bugs children, or not :).

personally, burn it all down, never sure enough that eggs will not mutate to resist... no risk. ashes.

Rich people can solve many problem with their money. Some people can solve with their reputation.

Somewhere you can pay a ransom, somewhere you can bribe the ministers of the "order"
