“Once the law starts asking questions, there's no stopping them.”

The implication here given to law, draws upon the ignorance of a populace enslaved by de facto government. Otherwise, the quote could get a 5 stars if the intent was to get at the truth of a criminal act; Or, a thumbs down if it were to bring to light the nonstop criminal activities of the in-place de facto government. A thumbs down, though it be true, due to the devastation perpetrated upon the noble sovereign.

Try to get "the law" to ANSWER a question, when they don't want to, as I did with the IRS. It was at that moment I quit believing this is a free country anymore.

And innocense is not considered a defense anymore.

I'm afraid it is too true -- thumbs down because we have little recourse against a government that has targeted one in the herd to keep the rest in line.

Carlton can you tell me of a time when "innocence was a defense". The quintessential question asker was Colombo. I really like the Lieutenants style. The only way to stop him in his tracks was to tell him the truth and with a straight face. If you got either one of those wrong (the truth or the face) he would come back at you. Bulldog tenacity thats what I like in a law enforcer or investigater.
