Line 11:
The only constitutional limitation on the search by [[subpoena]] is that it not be hopelessly broad or severely burdensome. If compliance required the production of virtually all the records of a business, or if the burden of sorting through the records would nearly bring the ordinary operation of the business to a halt, the subpoena is invalid. The term is used to characterize the vague or over-inclusive subpoena.<ref>{{cite journal |author=H.

==Science==
In the sciences, too particular an application of [[inductive generalisation]]s will sometimes be dismissed as fishing expeditions. The criticism expressed here is that the path from an insufficiently connected observation to actionable theory is held to be too long and therefore fruitless.<ref name="Weinstein1998">{{cite journal | last=Weinstein | first=John N. | title=Fishing Expeditions | journal=Science | volume=282 | issue=5389 | date=23 October 1998 | issn=0036-8075 | doi=10.1126/science.282.5389.627g | pages=627–627}}</ref>
