5) What illegal activities are they willing to do and lie about?
6) How much grief can they cause you even if they can't get a final conviction?
7) What actions will they take against you knowing they can't get a conviction, but will be happy to harass you and drop the charges later if you have the means and will to fight them?
8) Will the judge and/or jury ignore the law and convict you anyway?
9) How much of a problem is an arrest record, even if the charges are dropped or you're acquitted?
I'll also point out that most of the "magic" tricks to keep cops away are totally ineffective.
