“VIP” getting you a special booth at a restaurant or preferential treatment at a business is one thing.
“VIP” giving you special legal protections and immunity to prosecution is another. As bad as “VIP” bias is now, just wait until it’s actually codified into law and you’ll see why “Second class citizen” is such a ubiquitous term for the systematically oppressed.
I’m sure the SCROTUS will find some reason to invalidate the Constitutional forbidding of a nobility soon. Like they ignored the Constitutional bar to holding office by participants in an insurrection.
Some opportunities are codified to only VIPs - e.g. you can’t invest in a hedge fund legally unless you have certain net worth.
Punishments? If a punishment for a crime is monetary (like a fine), it’s an absolute, not percentage based, so wealthy and not people are affected very differently by it.
What else do you want? Literal human hunting license?
It’s called VIP and the concept isn’t new.

Not codified?

So you are saying that VIP has a specific legal definition?
