Our justice system is premised on this parity, but one can show that if there is sufficient disparity (e.g. if you have a brilliant criminal and stupid police/prosecutors or vice versa) then the likely game theoretic outcome will NOT be "justice" in the sense you would expect if there was parity.

What is the disadvantage of having overly intelligent police/prosecuters. Simply the opportunity for successful corruption or something more subtle?

Can you suggest a text on this subject? Its fascinating.

One thing though, it's possible to have a criminal that's smarter than any policeman; it's nearly impossible to have criminal that's smarter than all the police.
