I'm afraid that they have in the past, and probably will in the future. Nothing is ever perfect. We have to keep vigilant.
Back in the early 70s, I remember listening to two old guys behind me in a restaurant.
One guy, apparently a retired cop, was telling how he used to give tickets to black people for driving past an old abandoned school bus.
Malice? I'll let you decide.

My point is, that's not the rule of law, by definition. That's a misuse of laws.
