Police system wants criminals to persist. Justice system wants litigations to persist. Medical system wants diseases to prolong. Religious leaders don't want to us to reach our own god. Political and military leaders want the country to be threatened. Education system don't want us to learn on our own. So, they create artificial pressure to get educated. Even top technological companies pay legal bribes to users not to use competatiors product. so on.

Only solution to all this is: Think how would we live if such entities did not exist. Then develop necessary skills and use them in daily life.

It's not actually police most of the time, it's for-profit prisons. They are by far the biggest lobby for keeping minor drug offenses illegal. Police don't actually benefit a whole lot from there being lots of crime, at least where I live -- it makes them look bad.

Sorry, I generalized it too much. I was expressing the general tendency, not the exception, forgot put a star mark! Yes, you are correct. There are good people in every system. Even I have seen top doctors in top hospitals who wished patients who had surgeries to return home as soon as possible. I have seen (some you tube videos) some police persons who wished less crime. I have seen engineers fixing bugs once for all!

This adage can be seen in the Neitz-sche's statement - "exploitation is a basic function of life".

It's funny too because it applies to almost every industry, and to almost every individual in those industries.

I wrote and maintain the codebase for a government ETL pipeline that an entire analytics team relies on. It would in no way benefit me to have good documentation, or tests, or a readable codebase. I put those things in because I'm not a sociopath.

The difference is that corporations behave like sociopaths, not most individuals.
