If a police officer commits murder but the D.A. covers it up and the officer is never charged with a crime, does this make murder by the police legal?
Yes, it is illegal, and the government does not enforce laws consistently. The point is, this is a moral failing of Starfleet/the US government. This is an injustice.
If they’re nominally illegal, and those responsible for upholding the law are working with them, they’re not really illegal at all, are they?
