My only issue here is "but don't decide to take the law into your own hands...it's not your decision."

It's unfortunate that people feel that laws are simply things that are imposed on us by above and are outside our power. You don't simply bend over for the law to screw you over. Laws are there to be changed, they are there to be improved and prevented so that we can all benefit from them in the right way.

But hey, if you want to bend over, be my guest.
