Even when written correctly , "Alles, was nicht Pflicht ist, ist verboten" 
is a phrase I have never heard. If you meant "compulsory" than "cumpolsury", 
this would mean "gesetzlich, vorgeschrieben, obligatorisch" but also in all 
this combinations I do not know it as a popular phrase.

Hoppy alluded to "Alles, was nicht ausdr?cklich erlaubt ist, ist verboten" 
(roughly translated in "Everything, which is not explicitely allowed, is 
prohibited") which I can believe having heard about our neighbour country 
(and also mine). 

"Mein Herr" is a hopelessly antiquated form of adress.

>Nein, Meinherr.  The proper phrase is, "alles was ist nichte pflichte ist 
>verboten", everything which is not cumpolsury is forbidden.
