You're giving judges WAY too much power, not to mention police too much power. Imagine being questioned without an attorney present. You've basically made a way for 99% of people to be charged with a crime--guilty or not--to be prosecuted.
Removing lawyers (who are powerless in the first place) would give judges and police way too much power? How so? What kind of power do police even have beyond arresting? And what can a lawyer do against a corrupt judge? Take the case/judge to a higher judge? Judges already have all the power. It's basically up to their integrity how cases are decided.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not in favour of removing lawyers as this will cause a lot of damage for ignorant people who don't know or understand the law; what they can and can't do in certain situations etc.
It could have good side effects though, like the general citizens actually learning about the law instead of being lazy and just getting a lawyer when they need one. It could also have bad side effects like no one knowing the law because of laziness and ignorance etc. Then people would just get arrested, do/say something stupid and illegal, then found guilty.
