Legal Experts join MANA in attacking Govt's spying powers

Legal Experts join MANA in attacking Governments spying powers

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/5658023/Legal-wrath-at-plan-to-trump-court

Professor Philip Joseph of Canterbury University's School of Law , associate professor of law Andrew Geddis of Otago University and Victoria University's Dean Knight have all voiced the same concerns as MANA's over the Government's plan to make illegal Police spying legal.

"MANA believes the Police should not be able to use loop holes in search warrants to turn one legal search into none ending surveillance. Allowing Police to break into peoples homes and plant spy cameras with minimal judicial oversight is not the type of powers a Government should ram through under urgency. It is more unacceptable that the Government attempt to do this when many NZers attention is focused on the Rugby World Cup. This is a Democracy, not a Police State."
