Forget the dog argument, that’s been exhausted but surely we need to discuss this!

You think people should lose their human rights the moment they break the law? Who decides they’re breaking the law? The police? An impartial observer?

Methinks your suggestion is made in good faith but would purely be the act of a tyrannical nation. It’s the sort of thing you hear about in despicable countries like Saudi Arabia!
I never mentioned HUMAN RIGHTS. You have made that up!
I said suspended while in the act of a crime.
Far to many criminals end up better off than their victims once our soft courts have “ dealt with them”

What rights were you talking about if not their human rights?

And you haven’t answered a crucial question - who decides in the heat of the moment what is a crime? There’s a reason we have a justice system and what you’re suggesting would mean suspending that justice system in favour of vigilantism.

I think you are confusing some little s Croat of a burglar with a refugee or oppressed minority in a tyrannical country ,
The police decide in this country if you are committing a crime.
They tell you what law they are arresting you under when they read you your rights.

Human rights obviously mean different things to you .
Is it in your “human rights “ to be able to sue a firm because you fell through their roof while trying to break in?
The Human Rights card played again for a minor crime diminishes it.
What about the VICTIMS RIGHTS.

Actually no - the police arrest you because you are suspected of committing a crime, guilt is not a given. Your premise falls apart at the first step.

So are you advocating that the police should be given the power to determine guilt and subvert the court system?

It’s hard to discuss something with you as you just make your own assumptions.
Show me where I said anyone was Guilty.

There have been a few.
Do remember a young boy got a lot of money once for life changing injuries.
Sued the building owners he was burgling.
If a burglar successfully sued someone for their injuries then it means that a court of law has deemed that a law was broken.

I thought you were all about laws being obeyed so surely it’s right that there is a payout of a court has determined that?

Here —> “The police decide in this country if you are committing a crime.”

So I’ll ask again if you can confirm you’re advocating giving the police the power to determine guilt?
The police arrest you in the act of committing a crime.
They then have to prove that in court.
You still havnt showed me where I said anyone was GUILTY.,!
You asked “in the heat of the moment who decides what is a crime?“ who do you think decides ?
For me it’s the Police.

Where have I said the police can do no wrong? Nowhere. I’ve been around police officers for a lifetime, and worked amongst them for thirty years. The vast majority are great. Some get it wrong, sometimes badly. Of those who get it wrong some make mistakes and some are dishonest, corrupt, and hide behind their uniforms as a way of bullying people. Nobody knows more than a police officer how wrong the police sometimes get it.

But I will always defend the organisation I work for when it comes in for narrow minded criticism from people who, in the main, do not have the foggiest idea what goes on in the world of policing. You call that being holier than thou? That’s your opinion. But I’m not going to roll over and have my tummy tickled (forgive the canine analogy), just to satisfy the likes of you.

Well said. It always mystifies me the way that the do gooders criticise those that protect them.
Takes me back to when I was a kid watching cowboy films. The town is terrorised by the baddies. No one will stand up to them.
Then along comes the good guy who is prepared to deal with them in the only way there is to stop them.
Next thing you know, he is accused of being violent and a nasty person etc etc.

The "sheep" on here who want to recruit other sheep to protect us from the wolves.
Don't want those nasty men with their dogs?

In the act of a CRIME he should have no right to sue anybody if he hurts himself.
The firm were deemed guilty because the building was in a poor state of repair.
But argued he should not be on it.
But as the law stands the criminal has more rights than the victims.

Could you guys put a few of these posts on a lead and take them for a walk to another thread, please?

New vaccine data today!

Honest question for you and hopefully not coming across as too paranoid. The car park I use for work is being partly converted into a covid testing center. Is there any discernible increased risk from keeping on with parking there (thinking of footfall with potential infection coming in contact with my car, general proximity to a queue of people that think they may have covid etc.

No. Few in the queue will have Covid, and it is outdoors, which massively reduces risk, and even then you would have to get close for a period of time to a case.
