Written by civil liberties lawyer Harvey Silverglate, this book argues that the federal criminal code has become so vast and vague that the average American unknowingly commits multiple felonies every day. It explores how prosecutors can target almost anyone by finding technical violations in their daily activities.
Which reminds me of a book written by Dr. Harvey Silverglate. It's a professor of law at Harvard and it's called Three Felonies a Day.
