Obama Expands Surveillance Powers on His Way Out
> "if analysts stumble across evidence that an American has committed any crime, they will send it to the Justice Department"This is troubling on many levels, but the one that concerns me the most is game theory.We want people to pay taxes on criminal activity (because it's economic activity and uses services taxes pay for) without the tax authorities "narcing" on the source.  IRS is doing the right think by not leaking Trump's tax info even if people within the IRS think the public have a legitimate right to know.You are required to look after your kids yet you can drop off a baby you can't look after, no questions asked.Hospitals have to treat patients no matter if they can pay or not, and no matter if they became ill due to criminal behavior because we don't want people with tuberculosis or Hep C wandering around (not to mention presumption of innocence).Every time we add a "mandatory reporter" rule we actually endanger ourselves, so we should tread carefully.
