The US government is too caught up in prosecuting victimless crimes, bullying defendants into taking plea deals (and forfeiting their right to a fair trial), handing out cruel sentences, and using evidence borne from illegal searches (while lying about it).

Until all of that changes I am not interested in giving them more ammo.

Right because until some bar that can never be met is satisfied, let's let anything go? Sorry, that's not the society I want to live in.

The bar is "executing justice doesn't regularly cause more harm than the harm it claims to prevent." It's basically on the floor.

Well, the other bar is "the justice system follows its own rules." That's reasonable enough to ask, isn't it?
