If your legal system doesn't have enough resources to prosecute 90% of people who are committing crimes.................................

.......................................... then maybe the state should.............................................

.................... wait for it...................................

.....................................give the legal system more resources.

(I know right, it's mindblowing, revolutionary, difficult-to-conceive stuff - I can see why nobody has thought of it before)

So make the system (that’s already inefficient) several times more inefficient and then increase funding by a magnitude or two? Certainly seems like a reasonable option.

I bet all problems could be solved using this approach. What could go wrong..

Perhaps.

I was thinking more along the lines of taking a system that isn't just or fair, and making it more just and fair.

See, I wasn't really concerned very much by profitability and efficiency, more about what is good and right.

Silly me, I guess.
