I think the problem is that the US is going to be best at catching criminals. Meaning, if you are driving down the street in the Philippines with no DL or no insurance, no one is going to know unless you get into an accident. Here in my hometown our police have scanners on the tops of their cars that read your license plate - They will know if you have no insurance or a suspended DL instantly so long as they end up behind you.
I have no issues with our legal system. The last time I went to court was years ago, for a speeding ticket - Exceeding 100mph. The lady in front of me had the same exact ticket (it was common in that area in the desert) and she put on a big show, crying, tossing her paperwork up on his desk, saying "I don't know why the police pulled me over". She lost her DL for six months and got a huge fine. I went up there right after her, in my suit and tie, "how do you plead sir?" and my reply was "guilty your honor". No bullshit, no tears, no drama, I go my 100mph (PLUS!) reduced to 70mph in a 65mph, a $120 fine, and one point on my DL.
Treat the system with respect and you'll be fine. Be a douchebag and the system will treat you as such.
In the mean time, my fucking neighbor is so fucking lazy that he's left his garbage can outside on the curb for the past week. So fucking annoying.
