Sure enough, that's what an attorney of the watch dog ACLU has said.
"Why are they sending out six or seven agents to investigate a paper crime, and are they causing them to run in the first place through intimidation?" Benjamin Stevenson, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union in Florida, said he finds the tactic troubling.
Just a paper crime eh? Hey, Mr. attorney, every law that is on the books of the country is written on just a piece of "paper" making it a law, thus could one then say that every law is just a violation of a "paper" crime. A violation of a piece of paper. Remarable way of thinking. But for the ACLU, it works through intimdation of a possible threatening large expensive time consuming lawsuit against localities, against schools, churches and other groups with small pockets who don't want to be tied up in a court. "They (the ACLU) are causing them (the small localities, the schools etc) to run (not stand up for what's right) in the first place through intimidation". Just a piece of your own words Mr. attorney. And I for one find your tactics troubling. But who am I? I don't even have pockets.
