This is why many people see the Grand Jury as a form of political inquisition, or a way to get activists into secret rooms, ask them questions about or- ganizations, demonstrations, and civil disobedience, and pursue crimes that may or may not have been committed. Because of the jeopardy that the Grand Jury puts witnesses into many people are refusing to testify and are being thrown in jail on contempt of court charges instead of ratting on their friends. All people need to be aware of the threat that grand juries pose es- pecially if you or someone you know is involved in political activism, direct ac- tion tactics, or civil disobedience.
