One of my all-time favorites. Scary in a sublime kind of way.

Thanks to Michele Reutty, indeed. The entrenchment of the attitude that the sheep must always do as told is a dangerous one, and leads to serfdom.

I don?t think there was anything borderline about the second request. In fact, asking to see every record for the last 10 days is absurdly broad. That?s like saying, ?we know someone on this street bought some drugs, so we want to search every house on the street.?

I agree 100%. What I mean is if the warrant asked for records for “A Tail of Too Cities” and you knew the proper title was “A Tale of Two Cities”, when the first search that you typed in came up blank, one might be flexible and try the second title search without requiring a second warrant.

However, If the unnamed cop was being a bully, threating, or otherwise practicing conduct unbecoming of an officer, I might just say “Sorry, I can’t find any book by that name.”, and tell the police to get lost.
