we suffer from arbitrary and inconsistent laws already, the US is sliding into a police state
Many of the laws themselves are terrible, sorry, I should have said that it is the system for enforcing them generally works. You have juror screening, fair time to present either sides, and even if the general populous may not agree, unless the jurors do find you guilty of your charges, beyond a reasonable doubt, you will walk free and even be given protection in the event that your life is under threat by friends of a crime victim.
Edit: I should say, I don't think it's flawless, just less terrible than all other presently proposed systems of government.
