This Man Faces Life in Prison for … Rapping | David Loy
This article wouldn’t usually get my attention because it is an “American” experience, but with Harper’s use of terrorism to Americanize our laws and incarcerate people for expression, this is perhaps something we should pay attention to, because it’s coming here, sad to say.

US & THEM
US & THEM – People commonly ask me how can I defend guilty people? Firstly I am amazed that every single one of us does not have a criminal record because we have ALL transgressed the law one or more times during our lives and probably deserve one. Secondly, most of my clients are just like you and me who have found themselves in a situation, whether of their own making (making bad decisions, exercising poor judgement) or not of their own making (being in the wrong place at the wrong time, the recipient of someone’s vindictiveness, suffering from a mental illness or condition) and who are ill equipped to deal with a crisis situation, who act out or make mistakes. Most of my clients are not happy to have to see me and never want to see me again at the end. So when I get all up in your face about my client’s constitutional rights and fairness and judicial discretion and police abuse of power and so on, I’m fighting this fight for YOU. You just don’t know it yet.

CAN THE POLICE OBTAIN YOUR INTERNET SUBSCRIBER INFORMATION WITHOUT A WARRANT?
Yes they can. Although it is a search which is not lawfully authorized that constitutes an unreasonable search that violates your privacy interests, the information obtained as a result of the search will not be excluded in a trial as its admission will not bring the administration of justice into disrepute.
PROLONGED SEGREGATION IN JAIL IS A VERY WRONG PRACTICE
PROLONGED SEGREGATION – “has been found to constitute either torture or cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.” and our jails can impose it administratively for months or years for whatever reason they want, without review. This is very wrong.
