> So first as foundation, I see no reason to pretend that the law is always perfectly thought through and logical particularly when it comes to crime.

You will of course never reach perfection, but considering that when a law is applied, a lot of violence (police, jail, ...) gets involved, a politician who does not dedicate his life towards making the laws as perfect as humanly possible (with the ideal of finding an imperfection in the laws as big of a human breakthrough as the dicovery of quantum physics or general relativity) clearly does not deserve to be elected.

Oh, sweet summer child. Not attempting to make laws "as perfect as humanly possible" is the least of our worries with politicians!

Most of them dedicated their life actively towards the opposite, to make the laws as bad as posisble: out of ideology, out of being paid by lobbies and monopolies, personal interest, and so on.
