From [the UKJP’s principles](https://ukjp.org.uk/principles/), 3. Equality before the law: _the law should ask what a person did, not who they are._

Where does it fall short today? Is the fault in the law as written, or in how it is enforced?

Any position may be argued here, including that the question is framed wrongly.
