 * "I looked at some of ChochoPK's images."
 * quoted a whole bunch of United States codes that don't apply to my contrib.


 * Note for Chochopk or to whom it may concern. I am a licensed attorney (a criminal prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Kentucky).  Somewhat inadvertently, I came upon Chochopk's discussion page and saw that a legal question had arisen concerning some scans of foreign currency which he/she had placed on Wikipedia.  Only intending to be helpful, I provided some legal advice.  I left a polite (I thought) message explaining the applicability of two federal laws.  (In particular, 18 U.S.C.A. § 470 and § 474 -- anyone can find these on the Interent.)  In my professional opinion, U.S. law appears to forbid direct scanning of both foreign and domestic currencies, and the laws of other countries usually criminalize the same.  In my previous note, I should have also mentioned that there are international treaties and Executive Agreements between the various sovereign states, which provide enforcement powers to one another.  I am astounded that anyone would contend that "United States codes [sic]" do not apply!  (A United States Magistrate would certainly disagree!)  Regardless, somehow I apparently got into the middle of a fist fight between the Chochopk and the coinman.  Above under "Edit history," Chochopk says, "By the way, the comment borderlines legal threats."  I apologize if I offended anyone.  Giving unsolicited legal advice can sometimes offend, especially if a client does not want advice.  I apologize if my message seemed meddlesome to anyone.  I made no legal accusations against anyone, only a polite warning about the statutes.  Regardless, I have no interest in coins, and I am not affiliated with the coinman.  I would appreciate it if my username could be removed here and that the sock puppet boxes please be removed from my userpage and discussion page.  Wikipedia may contact me through the E-mail address on my WP account, and I will provide appropriate credentials.  Safeharbor8 03:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

They boil down to three things, my contrib, accusation of my behavior, and legality. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 14:07, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
