Well, if you think about it, when you deal with a lawyer, it invariably has to deal with the law whereas the other professions only deal legalities as a result and not primary purpose. So the relative consequence is not the same.

Similarly, with the police, because they are charged with law enforcement and being equipped with guns is very different than dealing the local surly person at the market.

That's why I'm of the opinion that certain professions need a lot more oversight and avenues of recourse than others. One would be foolish to think otherwise.
