Y'know, we seem to have a rash of "quoting the law without citing the
case" incidents. I have not seen, thus far, anything in the law that
says you may be prosecuted in court. I will happily admit ignorance,
if someone could just _show_ me where the court cases and precedents
were set here.
Simply put, if you vocalize the "law" then cite the case and where you
got your information.
It would help me :)
