Alex really didn't expect to encounter thieves in the lobby of the Rhodesia Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

Alex didn't expect that the thief had just succeeded, and he was pushed to the ground by the police who appeared in time, and then the wallet was recovered, but Alex needed to return to the police station with the police to make a record.

Alex and his wife happily sat in the blue and white police car, not the latest Lord, nor the lower price of the Diesel Busel, but Nyasaland Heavy Industries just launched a multi-purpose urban off-road vehicle, this kind of car has a higher turf than the sedan, with better passability, at the same time the horsepower is greater and more fuel-efficient, although the ride comfort is not as good as the sedan, but the perspective is better than the sedan, in short, it is a completely different new model from the sedan.

"We in Los Angeles didn't actually do this before, and crime in Los Angeles is punished very severely, and theft can be up to more than ten years in prison depending on the value of the case - but after the end of the world war, more and more people came to southern Africa to try their luck, most of them were notorious in their home countries, and they did it again after coming to southern Africa, I hope it doesn't affect your mood." The police sergeant Qiao Shan, who led the team, was very polite, the tourists who could stay in the Rhodesia hotel were either rich or expensive, and the police officers in Nyasaland were very service-minded.

In these years, people who can travel abroad are not all rich and expensive, and their living standards are much better than the average middle class, which is why many people think that the British are very rich, in fact, there are many poor people in Britain, but those poor people have no chance to go abroad, and their situation is not known to the outside world.

It can't be said that the thief just now is also British, but he obviously chose the wrong place to commit the crime.

"Understand, there are also a lot of thieves and robbers in London, especially in winter, where theft is very rampant." Alex can understand and accept that all cities have a dark side, and so does Los Angeles, which is full of flowers on the surface.

"Why?" Johnson was happy to chat to find out about his London counterpart.

"Because London becomes foggy in winter, and there is no human figure visible from 50 meters away, which creates good conditions for thieves to commit crimes." Alex's expression was ugly, and every Londoner hated it when he mentioned winter in London.

Johnson, who has never been to London, is at a loss, the air quality in Nyasaland is very good, there is no air quality measurement in these years, otherwise Los Angeles has excellent air quality for at least 360 days a year.

The remaining five days have to be good at the very least.

At the police station, the thief is taken to the interrogation room for interrogation, and it is a policewoman who takes notes on the Alexes.

Mr. and Mrs. Alex were surprised to find that the civilian staff in the police station had a surprising percentage of women.

However, these policewomen are not easy to mess with, many of them wear pistols around their waists, and the policewomen who made notes for the Alex couple are.

"Hello, my name is Yao Le, you can call me Yao, please don't be nervous, we just ask a few questions, do you need to drink water?" Yao Le's smile is very affinity.

Alex also thought that the police station only provided ice water in the customary sense, but he didn't expect that the police station also provided coffee and black tea.

So Alex chose coffee, and Alex's wife chose black tea.

"So let's get started, can you tell us exactly what's going on?" Yao Le opened the notebook, Alex glanced at it casually, and it was actually a beautiful calligraphy style.

In fact, there is calligraphy in English, and it looks very beautiful, just like painting.

Alex was in awe, there were very few educated women in this era, and even fewer educated women came to work as police officers.

"We just arrived in Los Angeles this morning, and we were about to go downstairs to make purchases, and then we ran into the thief—" Alex described simply, in fact, there was nothing to say about the process, and before Alex could react, the thief had already succeeded.

"Mr. Alex, is it inconvenient to ask how much money you have in your wallet? We are to convict the thief based on the amount stolen. "Yao Le respects Alex's privacy, which is mainly because many Chinese people care about it.

"I have cheques and some cash in my wallet, cheques are about £500, and the cash is probably more than thirty pounds, I don't remember exactly." Alex is not afraid of showing his name, and more than 500 pounds is indeed quite a lot of money, and ordinary people have to earn it for several years.

Yao Le lowered his head and recorded carefully, Alex couldn't help it, and still asked: "Officer, what kind of punishment might that thief receive?" ”

"It depends on the judge's sentencing, but more than 500 pounds is a huge amount, and the sentence may start at 10 years." Yao Le is only responsible for the record, and the trial is the responsibility of the judge.

There are two kinds of courts in southern Africa, one is a regular court with a regular court with a regular process, and the other is a temporary court with a low case value and little impact, and a crime similar to theft is tried by a temporary court, with a judge, a recorder and a temporary jury, and a case can be heard in ten minutes.

No one cares whether such a speedy trial will lead to unjust, false and wrongful convictions, and criminals have no individual rights in southern Africa.

"Ten years!" Alex and his wife looked at each other, ten years was too long a sentence, and if this was the result, then the young man's life could be ruined.

"Isn't it going to be too long? We must always give those people a chance to repent. "Alex is really not a virgin, he doesn't understand the laws of southern Africa.

"Repentance? Do you mean an apology? I think the victim doesn't need an apology from the criminal, the victim should want to see the criminal accept the punishment he deserves, even if the punishment seems severe, but this is the price of breaking the law, the court is not a vegetable market, and it cannot be bargained. Yao Le's words represent the mainstream thinking in southern Africa, human rights, human rights, the human rights of criminals must be protected, so how to protect the rights of victims? And how do we protect those who obey the law?

This is also the reason why lawyers in southern Africa are not taken seriously, no matter how high the level of lawyers, it will not play much role in the sentencing of the courts, and the biggest role of the bar association is to formulate relevant laws and improve the ambiguity of the law, rather than to defend criminals.

In recent years, laws in southern Africa have been increasingly biased towards the principle of reciprocity.

For example, the per capita income in southern Africa is about 50 rand, so if the amount involved in theft reaches 50 rand, then the criminal will have to pay about a year in prison.

And so on, 100 rand for two years, 150 for three years, and 500 is about ten years to start.

In the case of robbery, then the sentence starts at ten years, then fifty rand plus one year.

If the crime rises to the level of murder, then it will be divided into several different situations, and if it is malicious first-degree murder, then it must be a non-negotiable death penalty, because the murder unlawfully deprives another person of his life, then there is a cost of life.

Alex couldn't understand this kind of thinking, and in Alex's consciousness, the law could also be discounted, otherwise the status and fees of those barristers in England would not be so high.

This is even more perverted in the United States, where the laws of the United States are simply child's play in the face of power, think of Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide in prison, and when Epstein committed suicide, all the surveillance in the prison was just right; Prison guards were inexplicably terminated due to lack of manpower; Moreover, the timing of the changing of the guard has become a state secret and is not disclosed to the media, probably because the US Department of Justice is afraid that criminals will take advantage of this to escape.

Coincidentally, before his death, Epstein told the prison guards and other cellmates that he was particularly worried that someone would kill him, so Epstein tried to commit suicide in July, because according to the regulations, suicidal suspects must be in one room in two people so that they can monitor each other, but in early August, Epstein's cellmates were replaced, and the new cellmates did not move in until Epstein died.

It is said that people who have conflicts with a certain president of the United States and the former secretary of state of the first lady will commit suicide for no reason.

For example, the president's lawyer, Vincent Foster, once revealed to the media that he was going to write a book exposing a president's dirty money and power dealings after Vincent Foster left Clinton, and then on the day of the interview, Vincent committed suicide in the park.

Another example is McFulin, a well-known writer who exposed the inside story of a presidential foundation, who also committed suicide at home after publishing a related article.

Then there is John Ashe, a U.S. official to the United Nations, who was shot dead and was about to testify that a president had offered him a bribe.

and Seth Rich, the data center director of the Democratic National Committee of the United States, who first broke the news to Assange, died in an elaborate robbery, and after the gunman shot and killed Seth Ricky, he actually did not take Seth Ricky's wallet.

After reading these examples, you should have a deeper understanding of the judiciary in the United States.

Relatively speaking, the Nyasaland police were still very warm, and after completing the transcript, the police department sent a car to take Alex and his wife back to the Rhodesia Hotel, and also gave Alex and his wife a small gift, a postcard with the police station's phone number printed on it.

Behind the postcard is a trip to Nyasaland and some do's and don'ts that you should know.

Back at the Rhodesia Hotel, the Alex couple still felt incredible, and the impression that Nyasaland had left on the Alex couple was in the newspaper reports, and now it was being shown more and more concretely in front of the Alex.

Then shopping at Itno becomes a completely and thoroughly enjoyable trip.

If there's something one package can't solve, it's two.

Mrs. Alex was completely immersed in the pleasure of these words.

Mr. Alex's request was relatively simple, but when he saw the dazzling array of watches, Alex couldn't help but feel the desire in his heart.

Alas, more than five hundred pounds is really not much, not enough to spend—

ps: After writing this chapter, I suddenly realized a very serious problem, should I commit suicide tomorrow - brothers help me testify, if I die tomorrow, it must be that I poked the former president in the sore spot - it shouldn't be so serious, people have long been shameless, what can you do -
