Who cares...it's not illegal to donate.

  Parallel construction gives pause. It goes like this: 1) Find list of people who you don't like (in this case, for legally donating). 2) Perform illegal searches to find things they have done which are illegal. 3) Find another excuse to perform a nominally legal search ("His tail-light was out. I smelled pot, and when I searched him I discovered a large amount of cash in his wallet.") 4) Arrest him for the activities discovered in 2, but allegedly discovered during 3. tl;dr: Parallel construction allows for politically motivated searches which can lead to 'unrelated' convictions. You will never even know it happened, you'll just be cursing your bad luck.

    If you believe that, then donate and make the group of people who have legally donated to the legal defense too large to harass.

      Oh yes, I certainly advocate donating anyway. I just don't think it is wise to continue assuming that legal actions are without consequence.
