...a quote with applicable wisdom from a movie. In Enemy of the State, the main antagonist Thomas Reynolds says:

You know what I've seen?

I've seen killers walk free...
...because the eyewitness
...was an alcoholic.

I've seen sex offenders that couldn't be touched because the victim was a call girl.

Credibility... It's the only currency that means anything on this kind of playing field.

With every confiscation and closure of business pro-control credibility is eroded. People are often their own worst enemy.
