It reminds me of a section from the gulag archipelago where the KGB would accuse you by taking a picture of you with someone who was thought to be a spy because they were seen with someone accused of being a spy by someone who was accused of being a spy. They came in with circumstantial evidence to take people away.

Follow anyone for long enough and they will look guilty of something. And with the 1000s of laws, does anyone think they won't break one?

Right so there you just say, "As long as you didn't give them the picture of us together." And that stops the bullshit just enough for the next sentence: "If you want cheap labor just tell me where to sign to be exploited, a real communist wants to be exploited to understand it first hand." Look the guy in the eye, as long as it takes. Four minutes at least. He'll tell you..."you know..." and then he will either desist, because under the right circumstances he must, or he will put you in for ten years.

Win-win.
