I recall an old adage about ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Silly. It's only no excuse for civilians. Cops are special.
Isn't turnabout funny? Of course, these rules only apply to us lowly citizens. I hope to find out what happens when this whole thing pans out.
Compare this case to the Sandy Berger case to see how gratuitous both parties are to each other. This poor guy is put in handcuffs for doing nothing. Berger gets not even a slap on the wrist for endangering our national security. Maybe these abuses have aways happened, it's just that now we find out about them because of the net.
