i forget who wrote the article i have read but it was about how we are writing so many new laws on a daily basis that we are criminalizing (spelling) our society. on any given day any of us are unknowingly breaking the law that could land us in jail, or on probation. it seems that we also have very overzealous prosecutors that will try any meaningless case out there just to get another notch in his belt. not caring for anyone else but themselves. there used to be a time when our court system was used for the good or protecting our citizens from the truly dangerous criminals.
I used to say, back in 1972, that if you are walking down the street you are probably breaking some law.
