In a Rand-approved society, however, gone is the notion of doing things for 'the good of the people' or 'the benefit of society,' and thus gone are highway clean-ups, ethical standards imposed by any governing body (like the Hippocratic Oath, for instance), and thusly prisons, courts, and, really, law. Police, if they even existed, would function much the way they do in most third-world countries: Whoever has the most money is innocent.
