When is it okay for gov't to play thought police?

[you are making a legal judgement about guilt or innocence of cases that already made it through the court and state your opinion on the matter as fact? Did Chairman Mao put you up to this?

Not exactly...

Rubin Carter was wrongfully convicted - This one hits home for me since my Grandfather was the arresting officer.

OJ Killed those people - there was 10 times more physical evidence on him than 90% of the murderers convicted in this country. Trouble is Mark Furman was a racist asshole, (a "thought crime") , which as everyone knows is a much greater crime than murder.

I simply used those as points to where our court system does not work

[there is a system of laws in place.
there is a system of people in place to enforce those laws
there is a system in place to prosecute those who break laws.]

There is a system of laws in place that are selectively enforced, By people who are often paid to look the other way, and the courts are as fair as the defendent can afford.

Of course I might be biased against our legal system since it suspended my drivers license and issued a warrent for my arrest for non payment of child support. Interesting since I dont have any children

It was the same judge that signed my divorce a year and a half earlier - I am pretty sure the paperwork in front of him indicated I didn't have kids.
