what higher standard? All are EQUAL before the law. No seperate standards. If this was EQUAL the case would have been dropped entirely or place in the diversion program. Period.

You NEVER have this type of fishing expedition in user cases where the user was not caught red handed by the police. (altering perscriptions, buying in a sting operation, false phone in of perscriptions etc.)

The one thing that is missed is that the "good faith" was alledged to have been found but is this based on MERE SUSPICION or probable cause? If you get a speeding ticket does that justify the police taking your car apart to see if you altered any parts? It may be suspicious you were able to go 10 miles over the limit on a highway.

Try to imagine the authorities even taking up the case if he wasn't famous. That's what I've been getting at - the more conspicuous you are the more people expect from you. And if you fail to meet their expectations, no one wants to hear from you again. True, OJ was never convicted of murder but he's now the world's loneliest man which in a condign way is a fitting punishment for his crime. Every one may start out with a presumption of equal treatment under the law but their station in life and people's perception of it, does influence the kind of treatment they'll get in the event they're suspected of wrong-doing.
