I learned today that the FBI and DOHS have served a search warrant on an eBay seller whom I have been using for some time to get inexpensive DVDs. The seller has always been on the up-and-up, never sold bootlegs, and discontinued all contact with any supplier who ever sold a bootleg. But the Feds showed up, searched his business with no explanation, and treated the man like dirt. The entire place was trashed, and no consideration was given Now, he has decided to get out of the DVD-selling business, because he doesn't want to go thru such an ordeal ever again.
I realize that you can not expect perfection from every encounter with law enforcement - there are inconsiderate people working there, same as where I work - and everyone is entitled to a bad day. But we must keep in mind while pursuing justice that it is possible to crush an honest citizen in the pursuit of the criminals. And nothing is less just than having the criminal survive, and the honest man driven out of business.
