| Message | By proposing this you are denying the courts evidence that could be vital in finding the correct verdict. If there is a strong belief that these documents would be useful then why should we deny access to evidence? If nothing is found then the contents are not revealed. |
| Date | 10:42:04, November 05, 2005 CET | From |  Liberal-Progressive Union | To | Debating the Protection of Privacy Act. |
| Message | If a verdict comes down to the contents of a letter, then it must be a slow day in court or the prosecutor is sleeping. As I stated if there is reason to believe these letters will prevent a serious crime or solve a serious crime, then they can be used as evidence. There must be a limit to how far the justices can go in violating personal liberties in the off chance they may find a bit of evidence. |
