I don't know the answer to that. I think probably there are a number of variables that would effect how you would make those decisions. From our point of view, police officers being justified in doing something that would otherwise be breaking the law—may I use the short form of breaking the law? Police officers breaking the law are doing so on our behalf. We're authorizing that police officer to do so. So it's our complicity in that act that concerns me. It's the extent to which society has said, you may commit what would otherwise be a criminal act in order to advance our interest. I think there simply have to be limits to how much, for how long, and of what kind of justification you can offer to police officers. Otherwise they become in effect our designated law breakers. I don't think we can tolerate that.
