| Message | We disagree with The government's position towards the use of Forensic DNA databases, the government's policy concerning gated communities and Government provision of legal aid to the accused. For the latter we would agree with paying for the low-income criminals. |
| Date | 07:49:50, November 01, 2009 CET | From | BDSP un Beys fun Yisserles-Binyomen | To | Debating the DSPB.0229.2839 Judicial Manifesto |
| Message | On the matter of legal aid, we feel that we must guard against a high income accused person who has lost all of their money being undefended. Those who can afford their own defense would likely do so. On the matter of gated communities, why should the government not have the right to gate a community? Although, why should it? On the matter of Forensic DNA databases, we feel that all DNA must be kept both as a historical record as well as a criminal one. |
