“So great moreover is the regard of the law for private property, that it will not authorize the least violation of it; no, not even for the general good of the whole community”
William Blackstone
“I don't agree that it shouldn't all be in the public domain. In fact I think it all should be in the public domain... it's private land, not public land, which means that if we're gonna get it back, and I'll use that term advisedly, it has to be purchased rather than just change the law on how it's gonna be managed. .. It should be all of it. There may be different solutions for different particular places, but it should all be treated together. Be unreasonable. You can do it.”
Brock Evans
“In those investigations, the city discovered violations of city code at these properties and also discovered that these property owners were either in a financial hardship or a health hardship or otherwise unable to perform the necessary property maintenance duties.”
Bryan Wagner
“AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo did not violate the privacy of any user by handing over this information. No private data was revealed. Nevertheless, by not pushing back against such a bad request for data, it leaves open the real fear that they might not push back if the US government decided to go on a real fishing expedition in the future. Privacy may not have been lost but trust was.”
Danny Sullivan
“We do not recognize at all (that we were) engaging in acts that violate laws.”
Toyoo Otsubo
“Thou shall not violate.”
Jane Roberts
“Disorderly conduct is a different ball of wax. That's a violation and she would not have a record.”
