Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

Justice Louis Brandeis dissent, "Olmstead v. United States," 277 U.S. 438, 485 (1928)
