We can't cover everything, so sometimes we watch and, if needed, advise 
in the background.   I know when I heard about the FLDS raids having a 
single young woman calling for help as the "probable cause", and then 
they couldn't find the young woman, I was thinking that the whole 
operation might be thrown out as the "fruit of the poisonous tree".  See 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_of_the_poisonous_tree> if that's not 
a familiar phrase.  We try to keep government reigned in by making sure 
the laws are not bypassed.  And of course we're not perfect,  nor in 
agreement with everyone's values on every issue.
