I agree with Mr. Copley - overreacting to every incident by prosecuting to ridiculous extents not only shows the amount of panic in the gov't but also discredits the law. America's relation with the legal system already notorious for its abuse ( I'll sue you for giving me hot coffee ), lets not add ridicule to it.
