I can't remember the key, sorry" hold up in court (assuming said court had the papers they need, etc). Would that be perjury? The proper phrase is "I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me" Unfortunately, if you're accused of "crimes against the state", like failing to register your keys, that argument is tougher to use. -- # Pray for peace; Bill #Bill Stewart 908-949-0705 wcs@anchor.ho.att.com AT&T Bell Labs 4M312 Holmdel NJ # Trickle-Down Economics: Giving money to government bureaucrats # and hoping some will trickle down to the people who need help.
