Criminal tax prosecutions are relatively rare — usually the cases are handled in civil court, where the government has a lower burden of proof. Prosecutors said Snipes' case was important to send a message to would-be tax protesters not to test the government....

Oh My, this is screaming for another prison action drama movie, the lead is secured (and captive), and would quite possibly be authentic, for once.

I had an employee who claimed exempt on his W4, he showed me some pages out of the tax code that somewhat supported his stance, I wonder if he's following the 'Snipes' case with any interest.
