One day the shoe will be on the other foot and you'll rue the day you made such statements.
Nowhere did I even remotely suggest that the police are allowed to break the law. All I said is that they do what is necessary to get the job done.
Everyone keeps going on about citizens rights but many forget that the the rights of the victims of crime take precedence over the rights of criminals by a long shot.
You probably won't get it till you end up a victim yourself.
No I will not regret what I said.
The risk of an ordinary citizen (who could very well be innocent) being abused by the police is higher than his being abused by his fellow citizens. That is why in a civilised society, there are restraints on the investigative and other powers of the police. When the state is the one doing the abuse, the risk of a successful cover up is even higher. That is why in almost all First World countries there is an INDEPENDENT police complaints commission.
Sure, there is the risk that my daughter is raped and the rapist will get away because of those restraints, but without those restraints, there is the greater risk of my son being wrongly convicted of rape or worst being acquitted but yet succumb to the stress of an unfair process and an unthinking public that wrongly believes that he is guilty and then later the real rapist confess and his name is cleared but he is still dead.
What is the right of the victim? To have someone, anyone, regardless of guilty or not, be punished for the crime allegedly committed against her?
No, the right of the victim is to have the person who actually committed a crime against her punished after a fair trial. Her right has to be so constrained because she is living in a society and if not so constrained then she may also become a victim again when she is wrong accused, convicted and punished for a crime she did not commit.
That is the risk of living in a community rather than living alone like Robinson Crusoe. Living alone carries even more risk, for when there is a snake bite, there is no doctor to be found with five thousand miles and she will die when a simple injection will do the trick.
Life like investment or speculation is all about risk management.
Sinkies will always be Sinkies, they don't even know what the fuck is the Constitution or that it even exists. Only in University was it taught, whereas in other truly First World countries, this would be taught in civic classes from primary school onwards.
