Not everyone that haunts the net is an American or completely familiar with American law and "due process", as I believe you refer to it. I have asked a number of people/groups a simple question and as of yet have not heard so much as a mumble. The question is... Seeing as how Rose/SJG/etc have had their constitutional rights stomped all over in one form or another, is there any form of retribution that they can get. In some of these cases, the "law enforcement" agencies would appear to have been blatantly overzealous. In the case of SJG, it has been alleged that the search warrant was not even signed. Neidhorf has had his life screwed around something fierce and Len Rose seems to be getting raked over the coals yet again. Do these people, and therefore all of the rest of you, have to take this without any opportunity for recourse? Does American law not have provisions to protect against this sort of thing? Or at least make some kind of amends after the fact? ======================================================================== Adam Smith Genius - Graphic Artist - Bad Mood Guy The Chameleon Papers Vancouver, BC CANADA "I'd give my eyeteeth to have a Macintosh--unfortunately, due to Apple's pricing policies, that's not enough" ========================================================================
