We heard the charges, “selling counterfiet goods”. But we have not heard the evidence. The DOJ doesn’t have to present evidence to anyone? There was no trial or warrant. When govenments just point a finger and lock you up, without being bothered to prove anything, is that not a police state?

The article implies that there was a warrant.

You’ve gotta catch these things or you degrade the intellectual thoroughness we’d like to cultivate.
