Police detention without cause
It's your duty to sue the police for false imprisonment if they detained you without cause. It's because not enough people sue them that their attitude is as it is.

Fruit of the poisoned tree
Yo Neuberger! Obviously UK law should adopt the US doctrine of fruit of the poisoned tree across all areas of the law. If any evidence is obtained by any criminal or civil law actionable process it should be totally inadmissible and the person(s) obtaining it open to action in either or both courts.

ECHR
Section 44: Mrs May appears to have "told" the police not to use the powers, which nevertheless remain on the statute book and continue to be used for random searches of vehicles and presumably the drivers (or have I misunderstood it?).
ID card scheme: A small part appears to be in the process of being removed while the main provisions surge forward into law.
RIPA: Nothing.
Unfair extradition treaty with US: Utter silence.
Immediate removal of inoccent persons' DNA from criminal database: Kicked into the long grass once again despite a unanimous verdict of all 17 judges (including the UK judge) against the government in its judgment 215 [GC] on 4th December 2008.
Sorry, but I reserve judgment on this government at this stage.

Police (mis)conduct
I thoroughly concur with g e.
When a minister states publically that any police officer who misuses the power entrusted to them will be dimissed with maximum publicity and their pension rights cancelled and the IPCC is radically reformed to be actually independent, I will believe it.
It will, of course, never happen, as the police know only too well. After all, who would do the government's dirty work if we had an honest police service accountable to the people?

UK's secret surveillance regime 'does not breach human rights'

ECHR
And I thought that it stood for the European Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. A sad day for the liberty of the individual. Clearly RIPA should be repealed and surveillance permitted only on the writ of a High Court Master or more senior judge who must be convinced of the essential nature of the surveillance.
McKinnon family awaits final, final extradition decision

You really don't get it!!!!!
1. The stalinista Bliar/Broon axis of incompetence/malicious envy/venal corruption committed this country to a lopsided treaty which means that UK citizens can be handed to the yanks on demand, but their citizens are almost impossible to extradite to this country.
2. The treaty was supposed to apply to terrorist suspects in the illegal "war" against an abstract phantom enemy, namely terrorism.
3. "Terrorism" is not a tanglble physical enemy and is by definition unquantifiable not least since one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter (ever heard of Nelson Mandela?). The war therefore lacks a legitimate casus belli.
Get it now?
