      It appears that their system is like a business but that's not so, the government is a service organization. That is to assist the people with doing honest business. And they arrest for probable cause or a warrant only. That is the beauty of the law, but also the separation of powers. This violates the unlawful use of the powers of one group by another.

    I like Hawkey. He exposes FEDS for their neglicence and their indifference about people wellbeing. What a disaster. This behavior looks like those in third country and in China and India. Shame on them.
