OHO isn't essential, but it is damn handy - I've needed it a couple of times and use it all the time.

more importantly this isn't about the law, - it is about how it is applied. If there are laws passed, as citizens we are duty bound to comply with them, and if we want to change them lobby our representatives. it may be frustrating but that is how the system works.

What I believe DR is challenging is the authorities misrepresnting those laws to suit their own agenda - and I applaud his efforts on this.
