Two wrongs make a right

Judge's logic -If the cops can keep samples from people they've arrested but not charged, they should be able to take samples from everybody.

No, Sedley* you stupid f***. Two wrongs do NOT make a right.

Copper's logic - We maybe shouldn't be keeping the samples taken from those not charged.

Well said, Tony Lake!

*On my law degree seven years ago, a wise lecturer warned us about 'activist' judges like Sedley. Actually, a lot of our judges are totally corrupt, but that's a different story.

Agree Mark. I think the law is fascinating, but judges have too much power to influence it seems. He needs putting straight. At least the Police officer is on the our side (for once!)

Vindico, thanks.

Henry, how d'you mean? I have no particular opinion on magistrates one way or another.

Are they crooked and bent or not?

Henry, I have never heard anything to suggest they are. They are a tad self-selective, i.e. overwhelmigly white/middle class, but I've never heard anything worse than that.
