Is the human right law being miss interpret in our law courts?
Answers:
I wouldn't say misinterpreted, more bent and used by smart alec lawyers to allow their clients to evade the law, essentially the act has allowed some people to operate above the law of the land. Anything the police try to do with these people without cast iron evidence, sometimes even with, will usually end with claims that the persons human rights are being breached and they should back off to avoid a law suit being filed against them, even judges use the Human Rights Act as a tool which allows criminals to walk away, something that originally it was never intended for, but it seems to have been perverted and twisted around so that this is the case, where people are literally getting away with murder. The media have reported over the last number of years about even the most obvious criminals perpetrating criminal acts, some of them pretty heinous, and still getting away scot free, it is possible that this has given rise to the smugness and feel of invincibility amongst the youth of today, they hide behind the skirt of Human Rights as well, knowing full well that they cannot be touched regardless of what they do, on the grounds of their human rights being breached. It's all quite wrong and ridiculous, time to scrap the Human Rights Act, it's doing far more harm than good.
Unfortunately it is being interpreted to the letter which is the problem and rarely helping those it was meant for anymore.
The lawyers and Solicitors can use it so often to find loopholes and appeals at the taxpayers cost.
Common sense needs to come back into fashion and look at what is really best for society as a whole, not a minority.
human right laws are a joke when criminals are playing them to their advantage.
eg. can't detain a burgular - breaches his human right
drug addicts sueing the prisons because they are forced to cold turkey and this breaches human rights. and whats worse, winning and getting a big payout.
immigrants sueing the government because they are in a 3 bedroom house fully payed, but there are 4 of them.
call me wrong, but i am in a 1 bedroom flat, paying full rent/taxes with a wife and 2 year old daughter. i get ignored.
OK in a lot if instances they are a good thing, but it is getting like political correctness - crazy
It is a good law to have but the original meaning has been lost.
