Towards an Unisolated Court

For law enforcement officials, the court is imagined as a sacred place. A place where justice seekers can truly fight for and then obtain justice from wise decisions. The sacred paradigm turns out to be going in the wrong direction. The court is not considered by the public to be a sacred place because of its sacredness, but because it is considered haunted and dangerous.
The immoral and unlawful actions by law enforcement officials that are widely heard in the mass media, make the courts one of the places that many people want to avoid. As a result of this, the courts are increasingly rarely visited. Those who go to court are only people who are forced to come due to emergency conditions, as well as people who do work in the legal industry.
As the public comes less and less, immoral and unlawful acts actually increase in the courts. Why? Because there is no public to supervise.
When the courts become crowded, immoral and unlawful acts may be more suppressed. At least, people will increasingly think so that they are not seen or caught in the eyes or hands because they are committing crimes by the community. It's no secret that our people have the same point of view, "not wanting to look bad in front of others". Perhaps it is time to use our understanding of our inner attitudes to change the governance of the courts. Towards a court that is not isolated from the people's lives.
None of the people expect the court to be a haunted place. Even a people who are apathetic to the political life of the country never expect that. All have the same hope: the court as the birthplace and the enforcement of justice.
