Anybody can testify, rat out or just trade favors with the police in exchange for hiding a crime they have done. I think everything in life has a consequence, If you choose to work with the police, there is a consequence, if you choose to work against the police, there is a consequence for that too. Life is a double edge sword that should cut both ways. If a woman acuses a man of rape, I think that he has the right to publically face his accuser. Hiding her name from the public conceals weather or not she has a past of making false alligations. <BR/><BR/>We keep talking about justice and fairness, well in the real world, I really don't see things being so fair. If an accused, is found guilty, they say he was found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If he is found innocent, they say there not enough evidence to pruve the case beyond a reasonable doubt. But they say that with a shadow of guilt still hanging over his head. And I'm sure the media headlines when he was arrested will still serve to damage his future career or reputation in the community<BR/><BR/>I think people should make more sites like whosarat.com it goes to the heart of our free speach rights and gives the power back to the people, oh sure they say that we will abuse it. but government has never abused power before, why trust the public with power<BR/><BR/>Do you really think that one or two websites will destroy our entire justice system? If it will, then our justice system is simply too flawed to begin with. Judges hiding records on snitches is not going to stop someone from leaking or publishing their names, that's just a judge blocking free speach and using an argument of protecting the public from abuse, well, I guess that this practic will be standard practice in every court room, therefore, by-passing the constitution and changing the law without publically saying so. In effect this would be called secret trials.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1164042689225462392006-11-20T11:11:00.000-06:002006-11-20T11:11:00.000-06:00What are you trying to say, Phil?
