Eighty-seven and four-tenths per cent of the people, including licensed detectives, who are asked impertinent questions by cops, answer quick because they are either scared or ignorant of their rights or anxious to cooperate.
Archie Goodwin
If it’s not illegal, it must be moral.
Danae
It is truly a testament to where we are as a society today that it must be said in the context of federal civil rights litigation that women don’t have penises.
Kara Dansky
Remember that those of us who are both civilized and prudent commit our murders only under the complicated rules which permit us to avoid personal responsibility.
