(3,891 posts)You utterly ignored the examples of even the civil rights mentioned in the Bill of Rights, the right to an attorney, does not give the attorney protection against conspiracy charges in failing to report criminal activity. You ignored that point, the point goes to me.
You ignored my examples of the ineligibility of religious protections in failing to inform authorities of criminal activity. The point is mine, you were unable to counter it.
So we have Attorney Client Privilege, one of the most necessary protections in our legal system that has an exception. Even with that privilege which is center to the ability under the Bill of Rights to get adequate representation, there is no protection for an attorney who is informed of a crime and fails to inform others. Again, the point is mine, the point is that there is no legal authority to insist that criminal activity be kept secret.
One of us is missing the point. If you possess adequate reading comprehension, then the term willfully could be inserted.
