Particularly of interest is the main body surrounding the Chinese president, the ones who are usually immune to prosecution and charges for bribery and other crimes against the state to which everyone else is held in suspicion.
Yeah...i don't think in the name of the people touches any of this.
No but the dynamics of the police as such a powerful joint apparatus of the state for disappearing dissidents or politically inconvenient opponents is certainly mucho compelling to my original interest as well. The legal system is of endless fascination to me.
I was particularly fascinated by that bit about the Canadian who got busted with like 200lbs of meth and appealed his measly 15 year sentence and got it upgraded to death. The presiding judge lady was a terrifying Communist judge. Scary lady and very jarring particularly when violently high on dissociatives.
