Who can protest, and does not, is an accomplise in the act.

The Talmud

"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.  Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.  One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.  Who wants a nation of law-abiding citzens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor objectively interpreted - and you can create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt."
