Paraphrasing St Augustine——”Without a system of justice, what is the state but a marauding band of thieves.”
REFERENCE---LATINO JUST HERE FOR A BETTER LIFE SCAM-A-RAMA Seems this tax-sucking bottom-feeder worked for Cali's San Bernardino County Dept of Corrections. He told J/J he worked 9 mos and got 3 mos time off (cough) "to be with his children"---one of whom was (ahem) college age.
J/J asked him how he supported himself those 3 mos----he replied he collected UI.
THE SCAM Seems the Dept of Corrections aided and abetted govt fraud---they calculately "laid him off" and rehired him 3 mos later. The trough-swiller said he had been doing that for nine years...falsifying govt documents to get UI tax dollars (AKA government fraud) aided and abetted by the Cali DOC.
PS---when he was "laid off to be with his children," he was actually travelling to get laid by his girlfriend---she was suing him for a $4000 loan---which was why they were in J/J's courtroom.

That Reminds me of something I read in my misspent youth. It was something along the lines of:
Government is primarily a band of Vandals and Vikings searching for something to loot and the taxes we pay are the Danegeld to keep them away from our every day lives.
Of course I know now that the Danegeld wasn’t enough in the end and that they resumed raiding England and Europe eventually. What put a stop to that was armed resistance everywhere they showed up. Eventually there weren’t enough survivors to go Viking any more.
Kind makes you think doesn’t it? (With a beatific grin)
