[OPINION] Anti-Terror Law? Or Anti-Filipino Law?

Hard cases make bad law, says a legal maxim that is more than 180 years old.

This becomes even more critical considering that these collected information include communications. That means that the privacy and security of persons other than the person being apparently investigated are equally being violated. So they can listen to a person’s communications indirectly, without the court ever authorizing the interception of their communications.

Perhaps the most obvious is how easy it would be to fabricate or misrepresent evidence in order to dupe the judiciary into giving the authorization. Myas one falsely tagged as a “drug lord” or “narcopolitician,” perhaps just one level below a “terrorist” tag, is an egregious example of both the present executive’s capacity and propensity to initiate trumped-up charges, and the courts’ tendency to accept, with eyes closed, the DOJ’s finding of “probable cause.

We need not imagine what powerful people in our government can and will do with a comprehensive dossier on persons who dare speak truth to power.

It’s not about that. You are all educated. Have knowledge and maybe a lawyer so YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO SHOW SOME PROOF/ documents NOT ONLY STORIES ALONE, otherwise it is a CHISMIS
