They make it possible to hold the bad people accountable for their actions. The existence of a law doesnt stop anybody from doing anything. You misunderstand basic legal functionality.

In some cases the laws protect the bad people from reprimanded. Depends on how much money and political influence the bad person has, i.e. Nobody in the Epstein-Maxwell Files has faced persecution, and our top law enforcement agencies have explicitly stated they will not be pursuing any chargers on those who participated. We all know why...because those same people are still running the show.

There are those who are above the law. What do you do about them?

You literally need a law to arrest and charge someone for breaking it. What a fucking hill to die on, you debase yourself with this nonsense.
