First you scare the folks with words like "pedophile" and then you offer a solution that interferes with the due process that even a pedophile is entitled to. Yes, our instinct is to jail them and throw away the key immediately, catch them at all costs however, nothing must interfere with the basic right of all of us as Canadians to due process, not even our fear.<br /><br />Great interview. Important information.<br /><br />As an aside..Carmi..thank you so much for your words below over on my blog at www.breezedaze.blogspot.com. Are you sure you're not a poet yourself? <br /><br />Carolyn<br /><br />"Such beauty in both visuals and words. I admire your ability to paint a scene with poetry. I'd probably just stand there with my camera and leave it at that. But you've crafted something entirely different. And cherished. I'll think of this the next time the rain clouds and the sun do their dance on high"Carolyn R.

If our internet use is ...Well, that is disturbing. If our internet use is tracked and recorded what is to stop identity theft from becoming more prevalent? Where are the safeguards? I'm all for catching the "bad guy" but not for exposing myself, nor anyone else for that matter, so we become victims of clever criminals. If the police can get the information without warrants, what do you want to bet the criminals can do the same? I hope this dies on the dockets once again. Here's to training the best of the best and equipping them with the necessary means to safeguard and protect the innocent!Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065113724187544247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-74997042948313184442010-11-03T15:28:33.476-04:002010-11-03T15:28:33.476-04:00I think I'm with Buff on this one.I think I'm with Buff on this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-66323187979649375522010-11-03T13:28:13.454-04:002010-11-03T13:28:13.454-04:00Pardon me for a little levity, but isn't it ir...Pardon me for a little levity, but isn't it ironic for you as a journalist to complain about access to information....<br /><br />Seriously, I think don't think privacy is the point, I think it is justice, or perhaps ethics. I don't think a pedophile has a right to privacy while pursuing victims. On the other hand, I don't think law enforcement officers have a right to all of our information without reasonable cause to investigate.<br /><br />I guess I don't know where I stand, it doesn't seem as straightforward to me as it does to you. <br /><br />Thanks for poking this thought provoking issue.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868843747266438067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-3399926058646909132010-11-03T11:56:28.589-04:002010-11-03T11:56:28.589-04:00scary stuff...i love the use of draconian...so und...scary stuff...i love the use of draconian...so underplayed, yet so thought invoking...<br /><br />the idea of giving the govt the best tools is the better option, but opening Pandora's Box, is the first, and a giant one at that, step in the total collapse of privacy...<br /><br />while i agree on the protection aspect, i disagree on the premise of opening up one more hole in the cyberweb...<br /><br />power in the wrong hands is very scary and disturbing. <br /><br />i do not trust the powers that be to use this for the common good, call me paranoid, but i suspect that it will just make more of us criminals for non-criminal activity...I am positive the database will encompass words that taken out of context will be flagged...<br /><br />great post as usual...that guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09171219082208472827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-39607364870420247362010-11-03T09:32:32.114-04:002010-11-03T09:32:32.114-04:00I deem this as an invasion of privacy, and doesn&#...I deem this as an invasion of privacy, and doesn't that come up some where in our constitution?fredamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445217103291725907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1175498746717067192010-11-03T09:31:36.527-04:002010-11-03T09:31:36.527-04:00I hope this one will die on the docket as well.
