THere is also C-51 in Canada, where you have to disclose to the prosecution what you are going to use to defend yourself, so they can poke holes in that.

except ones which contain certain forms of confidential information which I have signed agreements to destroy.

Soon, even recording everything won't help you anymore.

You are accused - off to the Gulag with you!

in some of those cases, I have been able to petition the _companies_ to retain the records

Oh certainly

my materials will not be adequate in a human rights tribunal

THere have been several cases in which evidence that owuld have exonerated a convicted man were excluded from the exhibits during court cases.

The guy sat in prison for ELEVEN years and they KNEW he was innocent.

I need to escape Canada ASAP

They just blocked that testimony and some evidence.

Yeah, Canada is thoroughly unjust

and part of it is that Canadians are smug

Oh, that particular case was in the US, but there are some like that in Canada.

so smug that they will not stand for criticism of the status quo, unless it's woke

I suggest watching Diana Davison from the Lighthouse Project.

Well, feminist activists in India actually OPENLY admit that they don't care about false convictions, as long as it gets more "rapists" locked up.

India is actually one of the worst countries for this right now.

THere are regular extortions, where women will demand money from men or threaten to accuse them of rape.

Most of the time, they pay up, because, even if they would not be convicted, the legal costs would exceed the amount demanded as blackmail.

Another such law in India is the prohibition of dowry.

Uh uh ... not sure I am going to like this video.

@Undead Mockingbird India is super fucked up however

@Undead Mockingbird it is a country with absolutely no justice against rapists

brazen gang rapes regularly go utterly unprosecuted, after numerous reports

Rapists are BURNED in the street.

Don't believe the propaganda.

it's both ways, undead

it is unjust for _everyone_

Rapist have never had it easy. They are attacked even by other inmates in prison. We used to burn, quarter, and castrate rapists - even just accused ones.

_if the mob wants you dead, you will die, if the mob wants you alive, you will live; guilt of the crime does not factor into it_

YES THAT I CAN AGREE WITH.

(sorry hit capslock)

India is very very very complex on this matter

obviously the solution is not the erasure of due process

but the strengthening of it

No, it's not complex: it's primitive. That's how we used to do it not too long ago in Europe.

in addition to protection of the accused (and the communications to the public about that)

Rape has always been one of the most punished crimes in humanity.

it's been one of the most heinous
