That's only partly true. First of all, without the consent of a judge,
you can be put into jail only until the next day. Second, to keep you in
prison they have to have enough evidence to warrant it. Third, you can
not be forced to answer the questions.

Dream on, guys, dream on.....

'They have to...' have been much in the news of late for NOT doing what they 
allegedly 'have to'.

Bigtime.  And not just in the Yew-Ass-A, either.

And that's just what is public information.

But might we let this not-specifically-related-to-DragonFly thread sort of 
wander off to a more appropriate venue?

Of which there is no shortage.
