Public Input on laws
…… Under proposed changes to the Criminal Procedure Code, police will be empowered to intercept postal, telegraphic, telephonic and other communication of any act of terrorism…..
My say:
It is a good thing if this is used solely for combating terrorism or other malicious acts which might be detrimental to the society. But isn’t this a new way for the police to abuse power, getting evidence or proof that will humiliate/embarrass other people (Read: Private & Confidential) and use this privilege to black mail them?
