So let go down with some of those poiwers because the fbi i involved in criminal investigations and the Inspector General is involved in internal investigations. The Inspector General does not have the act to compel people to testify outside the irs is that correct. I believe thats correct. The fbi does, correct . Yes. Yes.

I wish you would emphasize that we cannot allow Police Officers to do that because the constitution says you cannot. I appreciate the point. That is one more point from the judges ruling. Judges ruling. It may lower the crime rate but it is unconstitutional. That is not where we begin, that is where we end. Situation, you can lock down an entire city. In that particular situation, that made sense will stop sense. Legal and moral problems. We cannot look at these issues through the narrow problem prism of what could reduce crime. We have to look at Public Safety and the fact that we are a democracy with open values and tolerance. Some sense of equal treatment.
