True. Our law enforcement and judicial system has so many laws on the books that it seems that you're one small mistake away from getting thrown in jail. I know many people who've spent at least one night in jail and I don't even hang out with a criminal-type crowd. Most of them were stupid offenses.
However, you can't compare America to North Korea. For one, there's no proof that North Korea doesn't have more prisoners than we do. They don't have any official records that the rest of the world can look at. You can get jailed for years at a time for being though of as somebody who disagrees with the government. In America, you can scream bloody murder about the government and you can do so freely without fear of arrest.
