1 the arm of the law
рука правосудия, сила законаThe gamblers Isaac, List and Jowl... pursued their course with varying success, until the failure of a spirited enterprise in the way of their profession... caused their career to receive a sudden check from the long and strong arm of the law. (Ch. Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, ‘The Last’) — Игроки Айзек, Лист и Джоул... продолжали с большим или меньшим успехом подвизаться на своем почтенном поприще... до тех пор, пока длинная и тяжелая рука правосудия не разметала всех троих в разные стороны после крушения одного их смелого замысла.
For not because of any legal rights were Baker and Morgan beyond the arm of the law. (Th. Dreiser, ‘Tragic America’, ch. I) — Бейкер и Морган, попиравшие все правовые нормы, были, однако, вне досягаемости закона.
