Well, there's always an alternative understanding. In my own view, real 'law' cannot be broken, so we are almost never dealing with real law when we speak of the human made 'law' system (that's without even getting into the difference between legal and lawful). We are dealing only with 'rules' and they are very subjective, despite claims to the contrary.
I have been very clear for a long time that those 'in power' have the primary goal of protecting their own interests above and beyond those of the population - which is ironically what the judge is accusing Andrew of doing. If only we had an extra layer of awareness within the 'normality' of shared perception.
