WOW. That is really impressive. Serious kudos for efficiency.

It's weird to think that at any given moment, you're subject to a search and seizure (or any other kind of law enforcement ...enforcing) which will interrupt your life for sometime around one month to (in most cases) a year or so. Really kind of makes you want to hustle and get to work when you're not being served a warrant :P



Again I can only speak for the UK but.. the chances of you having a search warrant issued on you is pretty low if you are not doing anything illegal.


> chances of you having a search warrant issued on you is pretty low if you are not doing anything illegal.

It's the definition of "illegal" that worries me.


Especially in the UK, where writing a book that criticizes pseudoscience is "illegal", as is publishing photographs of celebrities.

I'm surprised there are any journalists left there at all.


Hmm careful; those are civil laws. You can't be arrested for them.

(which isn't to say they are correct - just not related)


> You can't be arrested for them.

Unless you refuse to comply with a court order related to a civil matter.
