Yes, many of us don't want to know.
To defeat rule by force, we don't really need them.
Only the few enough to tip the boat are needed.
At some point the point of no return is reached, this must be our goal, if we wish to see change.
Most people don't like getting pushed around by bullies.
As the iron fist tightens its grip, more will slip through the gaps the worse for wear.
I sat in traffic court one morning, because I had a speeding ticket.
They called me very near the end.
I bet I watched a dozen people come in with smiles on their faces expecting that their excuse would be good enough to get off.
None of them left smiling.
Most got up and said, 'Yeah, I did it, but,....'
Admitting guilt is not a good defensive strategy, imo.
It kinda ties the judge's hands.
I just paid the money.
My goal was to tie up court time and resources.
Now I know better how to do that.
Then, not so much.
I beat my last speeding ticket.
No objections.
I think what normal people can do is to support other normal people in the way they react towards them as "policemen" and "desk-workers" and try to bring forward the best of each other, not the worst. Easier said than done. But I attended a court session where a friend of mine had her case discussed and I think that what she told the judge and what the listeners took with them was quite impressive and important to state in such a public place as a court.
It's good to be a first hand witness of those instances. And not always reading about them but attending oneself.
So, it's good that you do that, too.
My friend was in more than one trial, she lost one and she won one.
Marc Stevens on utub is a good resource.

That anonymizer has been on the fritz, but the dev said he would have time to work on it next week.
You can simply search his name.
He's gotten out of the business of helping people, for the most part, but his videos is how I learned.
At the time he had a skype and a forum, but they weren't paying the bills, so they have gone away.
I'm sure he will still sell you his books if you email him.
Does your friend chronicle that online somewhere?
I see organized crime members, some knowingly, some ignorant of reality.
Neither with 'the right' to force their will upon me.
There is no 'government', simply an organized gang of men and women that force others to pay and obey systematically.
