Would that possibly run afoul of "inciting imminent lawless action"? I would also love to see such an advertising campaign, but I suspect you would get some pretty fierce and heavy-hitting push-back on it.

- Crito 13y agoGreat point, the Streisand Effect would definitely be working for you. Here is a somewhat related ad campaign, encouraging people with jury duty to refuse to convict people for crimes without victims: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/metro-billboard-advocating-jury-nullification-concerns-local-prosecutors/2013/10/29/fe53edbc-3da9-11e3-a94f-b58017bfee6c_story.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/metro-billboard-ad... They tried to get this guy for jury tampering: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/20/nyregion/indictment-against-julian-heicklen-jury-nullification-advocate-is-dismissed.html http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/20/nyregion/indictment-agains... Those campaigns managed to ruffle some feathers, and got lots of media attention because of it. I imagine that this propose whistle-blower campaign would raise even more.
