Question.

There is one sentence in your feedback. which is \' we now have a situation where laws are bent at the drop of a hat\' I can\'t understand
\'laws are bent\' . what is this sentence meaning?


>> Laws are bent or bend the law -  to cheat a little bit without breaking the law.

 -  To do something that does not break the law but could be considered inappropriate or unfair.


EXAMPLE : A: \"Come on, a little bit of speeding is just bending the law.\" B: \"Yeah, I think a police officer would disagree with that.\" They can\'t arrest me for just bending the law!
