Consider how natural law rights to jury nullification, and to in
general voluntarily not involve oneself in anything, would apply
to cancel the paper misprision "offense" directly, and or by
removing the underlying felony requirement.

"conceals *and* doesn't inform asap"

This seems a strange conjunction... it either implies a required context
of such actions as being taken in response to an inquest or proceeding
(the cognizable bits), or it is simply an example of broken "law" easily
thrown out. Then there is defining "asap", such as falling under which
parties own priority scheduler... deft or pltf.

Isn't that available onsite to guests through random public libraries,
or university law school libraries?

Nevermind that the worldwide legal system needs opensourced
at all levels, including this bullshit cabal...
