Quote:That is an excellent way to end up on a watch list
You think you'll end up on a watch list if you call a D.A.'s office to get clarification on a law? You are as paranoid as hell. We're not talking about making terrorist threats, we're talking about asking a question to clarify a law.
If you really want to know when a woman is "too drunk" to give legal consent in the state of Washington, you should call your local D.A.'s office to find out the answer. My goodness, do you think you'll get put on a "watch list" if you call the Motor Vehicle bureau with a traffic law question?

They do indeed put people in prison for tax violations--including tax evasion. And IRS penalties and interests, plus what you initially owed them, can add up to considerably more than "a few bucks".
You are expected to understand and obey the laws of your state--that includes the sexual assault laws.
