I think I understand the kind of world that Legrand fears. In Russia, (at least 15 years ago) the police would stop people randomly and if you looked at all like a westerner (like I did), you would get stopped often whereupon you were to show him/her your "dokumenti". While most of the time it was simply an annoyance, every now and then you would be advised that you were violating something or other and would need to pay a small fine for which the "offender" was given no receipt.Rolandovich on the Oly Ost blog has a nice writeup on the Olympia lawyer Legrand Jones and has given him the blog's first courage award. Go read and even comment if you like, comments are enabled there.
