It’ll never work.

Self-interest always wins, particularly with the criminally self-interested. Nobody’s going to risk a much longer prison sentence on some feeble attempt to crash the system.

This would be a classic case of the “Prisoners Dilemma “.....

Self-interest always wins, particularly with the criminally self-interested.

True criminals commit malum in se crimes, things like murder, rape and robbery that are evil in and of themselves.

Nowadays a large portion of crimes are malum prohibitum crimes, things that are illegal not because they are immoral, but because there is a law against them.

If everybody quit paying income taxes and demanded a jury trial, the federal government would go belly-up in a year.
