> If you're doing what every one else is doing, but only you are being prosecuted, that's reeks of political motivated prosecution. Not necessarily. Even government resources are finite. If you are doing what everyone else is doing, but only you are being prosecuted (currently), it could be (and often is) because the people doing the prosecuting have limited resources, and the best practical course of action for them is to go after one highly visible target and get a ruling that will spook everyone else into self-correcting (or be the next largest target). | ||
