Whatever, no skin off my nose. I was just answering the question.
“...ay, there’s the rub,... Hamlet, William Shakespeare
Answering a question of a legal nature while ingoring the primary controlling law in the Constitution. Yielding ground to unlawful authority to those in a government agency following rules and regulations, or a ‘law’ passed by legislators which is nullified by the controlling authority of the Constitution. So as you can see it is skin off of the nose of your rights by allowing them to go beyond the law of the land. If they wish to collect information they must first alter the Constitution. Hence, by allowing them to violate the rule of law by complying with unenforceable edicts you are aiding in the efforts of the few to erode the foundation of our Republic. Much as the citizens of Watertown did when they allowed searches of their premises without warrant. That of course is a different issue and mentioned as it might be those citizens are ignorant of the controlling amendments in the Bill of Rights.
My remarks should not be taken as an aggressive response to your comment They are not. You may do as you please. But bear in mind, when they come to my door, your compliance has given them the impression they have the authority to do what they choose without question and that undermines my response to their actons.
