DISCLAIMER:  IANAL

Not in Australia, according to our corporate legal eagles... in this country
at least it comes down (apparently) to the question of intent, and while you
may be convinced of your good samaritan-ness, if worst comes to worst it may
be a luddite judge and/or n of your peers who (a) were unemployed or (b)
couldn't think of any other excuse to avoid jury duty.  What are the odds
they'll sympathise with you when the police prosecutor makes you out to be a
no-good hippie anti-establishment terrorist sympathiser with the axis of
evil?  ;-)
