So far I'm getting some decent answers but it just doesn't satisfy my curiosity on this. Here are the definitions I found on the two words which has some influence on my position on this.
Law- (often the law) The system of rules that a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and may enforce by the imposition of penalties.
Code- A system of words, letters, figures, or other symbols substituted for other words, letters, etc., esp. for the purposes of secrecy.
These two words are different. Does anyone see why I am concerned about this? That last line really bothers me "for the purpose of secrecy". Why all the secrecy? I know a lot of the codes are more easily accessible now days with the internet but yet it is still to hard to find if you don't know what your looking for. It's not like it is advertised to let you know. To me it seems to favor the special people and opress the regular citizens in most cases.
