Yes it is proper. Say that you wrote a threatening letter to the POTUS.
And you say that you can not have my typewriter. Think that would fly?

True... but again, is it right? And that's one of my mainpoints here.

The IRS will not only send you to jail but will seize your property.

Maybe those reporters are lucky they were only sent to jail, maybe the
judge could have ordered them to hand over all their '60s albums too.

That depends on the credibility of the threat.

So, I take it that you're in favor of a police state with 'freedom'
define by the convenience of the courts & police? A gov't that places
higher priority on the priviledges of it's officials than the rights of
it's citizens?

That is what we have now.

Personally, I don't like it... and the Founding Fathers would be
appalled... although they'd probably be surprised & pleased that the
U.S. succeeded so well & kept some vestiges of freedom for a long time.

Kevin,
Why are you sending email to people using Kevin Noble's signature?

Someone using your IP sent me email from , and the "from"
name on the email was Kevin Noble. Maybe it was Mrs. Noble.

Very much against a police state. The question is can you be forced to give
up evidence. And with a search warrant, yes you can.
