Sadly, I think this is the direction the world is actually headed towards (based just on the text in the overview and nothing else). Where corporations and the rich are unofficially above the law (maybe even officially) because people have been becoming more and more corrupt that they can just pay politicians/government officials/law enforcement off to get what they want.
I personally have already had a big corporation, Walgreens, resort to (poorly) forging my written signature to fake documentation to get away with illegal retaliation and discrimination by making it look like I had acknowledged wrongdoing I had done (which should have been obvious that they were faked when 2 were signed and dated as occuring AFTER I was fired). Where the government official in charge of the investigation even agreed it looked like someone tried to sign it as me, and that their claim that I was fired because I didn't ignore/turn away customers in order to get other tasks done didn't make any sense and was a terrible business practice if that was the real reason (how many businesses actually tell their employees to tell customers to go away because you have to finish stocking products?). However, she skipped steps in the process (that she herself had laid out), such as giving me the same chance that they had to dispute my claims, and jumped straight to saying she decided in their favor. When I tried to have the local police do something about the forgery used to commit fraud and provided them evidence that the documents are fake, the officer in charge of the case told me after "investigating" it that he couldn't use the evidence and had to close the case simply because they said they didn't do it (without any evidence at all to support their claim or disprove mine).
