To a certain extent, yes. The law is there to protect everyone, but too often it is seen to be ineffective, with known criminals acting as if they're untouchable, and the police are only concerned about the human rights of the person they've eventually arrest.

I know this is partially perception, and much of this culture is an over-correction from the times when the notion of a fair policeman only occured to you if you weren't the wrong colour, or religion, or whatever it was in your area, but it still rankles.

There needs to be a rebalancing, towards the majority.
