A very dangerous road, Don - to allow "law enforcement officers" to demand that people who have not been convicted of anything (that is to say, are not guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt") do or suffer something to avoid prosecution. That is the kangaroo court with no legal basis for its decisions, and how long before it is a beating in a darkened room, or a donation to the Widows and Orphans fund?

I think I'll settle for a civilisation in which you have to be guilty of an offence before the law sanctions a punishment for you, and the sanction is determined by law not whimsy or prejudice.
