The costs, especially to society, rise when there are is an excess of lawyers as they do what you suggest, start innovating new ways to prey upon the populace.

"you don't have to actually DO ANYTHING to be put in prison by a federal court."<br /><br />Welcome to the modern America! <br />FWIW these days any police can stop you & take whatever cash you have, call it suspected drug money, give you a receipt & let you hire a lawyer to try and get it back.
