We don't have a First Ammendment protection up here, though it appears sometimes that you lot don't either. What we are seeing is harrassment prosecutions, where the Crown probably knows it can't win the case, but goes ahead anyway, knowing that even if they lose, they win. The plaintiff's life gets ruined, the prosecuter pulls a paycheck. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
