How long should the Police have to question and research suspected terrorists? The Police want 90 days to effectively conduct they're investigation - and the Human Rights people are howling at this.
Blair is having trouble getting this through, but it should be remembered that it's the Police and anti terror forces that are asking for this, not just the PM. It wouldn't simply be 90 days straight off. The 90 day period would be subject to a 7 daily Judicial Endorsement, so the Police would have to report progress to a judge weekly, who would then decide if they can continue.
With this in mind my view is that the human rights of the general public of this country take far more priority than that of a suspected terrorist, so I'll be voting for 90 days.
The Libs want it the same at 14 days, the Cons want 28. Charles Clarke has hinted at a compromise of 42 - 60.
What say you...........?
