Sorry about the secondary followup; I was being rushed for time.

If you are `defending yourself from the State', you are (as the
saying goes) `fighting City Hall'.  The State has a *lot* of
resources, and if they are at all interested in prosecuting you,
you will have to dredge up a lot of resources of your own in order
to have any chance at all.  This is why I say `of course' it is
expensive.  It will, at the very least, cost you a great deal of
your time.
