There's a great quote from Atlas Shrugged about big government's need to create as large a criminal class as possible so they can concentrate on selective enforcement rather than going after actual criminals. I'll post it if I can find it or someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Is this the one you meant?

"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws"
~~Ayn Rand

I keep this on my homepage, unfortunately it come in hand all too often.
