When ignorance, over-zealousness and incompetence are combined with the power
of the state (at any level[s]), the outcome is generally abusive of such
trivial concepts as "freedom", "personal responsibility" and "accountability".
Joe Public tends on average to lose the former, while Joe Bureaucrat generally
manages to avoid the latter pair.

In the "I feel Robin's pain" sense...BTDT over the past 8 months on 2
unrelated (save jurisdictionally) cases...expensive fun. And by "fun" I mean
"real pain"...at many levels.
