1Opinion of the Court
POLITZ, Chief Judge:
Stafford, a tax protestor, did not file federal tax returns for the years 1985, 1986, and 1987. He claims a belief that wages are not income and that filing a tax return is purely voluntary. Indicted and convicted of three counts of tax evasion he was sentenced to three years probation, requiring six months in a community halfway house. The conditions of probation also require that he provide his probation officer with “access to any requested financial information” and “cooperate with the Internal Revenue Service to resolve the tax matter subject of the indictment.”
