The message seems to be, "If you assert your rights or your innocence, we'll make life very difficult for you. Comply."
Pure mobster mentality.
It's worse than that. "If anyone advocates on your behalf, we'll make sure you regret it."
I think the message was meant for the Internet, actually. Something like "You think you own this country? We'll show you who owns this country".
I don't think they appreciate how utterly annoying maintaining that position will prove to them.
I certainly hope you're correct.
Really? He didn't have the "right" or the "innocence".
