    an nda is enforced by the justice system it’s not going to enforce it against itself

    It’s not that simple. There are two main components to the legal system, civil and criminal. Civil is between two private parties (people, companies, and sometimes the government) for disputes with contracts and such. Criminal law is when the government brings changes against you for breaking the law.

    Generally law enforcement (“the justice system”) works on the criminal side of things. It doesn’t really care about a contract between two people if something illegal is happening. Can you imagine the loopholes that could create in organized crime if you just had to write a contract and you couldn’t use an otherwise willing accomplice as a witness?
