Being forced, on pain of punishment, to do anything at all under such circumstances has opened a crack through which all manner of abuse has found a way into our legal system.
"Asset forfeiture" was one such proposal. After all, who could argue with taking property away from those who gained from criminal action. That held water until the first few cases where that bar was lowered to a point where folks buying cars/houses with cash down payments were getting rolled by law enforcement.
Law Enforcement is no longer our Friend. The game is to find something to pin on your target, it isn't about mere "enforcement" any more. No need to make it easier for them to turn nothing into something.
I understand your concerns. We disagree on this point; but I do understand where you come from.
“Law Enforcement is no longer our Friend.”
I am sorry you feel this way, but this is also something I can understand. I do not have that feeling in the community where I live.
