  1. That's called probable cause.

  2. Search houses with probable cause. You'll change your tune when someone nicks your phone.

  3.  @BowserLucaTheThird  Telling the entire world you're "that guy" without actually saying you're "that guy".

  4. Statistically, these false allegations happen just as often as the attacks do.

  5. And that's what this bill will do. Allow the existing laws to be enforced.

  6.  @LesHearn-h2o  Clearly they can't, or this wouldn't happen.

  7. ​@bluefish-manWhen they leave, small business grows into big business, leading to greater wage competition between employers.

  8. @bluefish-man And then what? Lose their business? I don't think so.

  9. This tells me far more about Trump than it does the ICC.

  10. Ah... the logical fallacy that is the slippery slope argument.

  11.  @lukasmadrid1945  What's the point of improving the courts if they can't catch people? And it's not everyone's rights, only those who have a someone else's phone. That won't affect me.

  12. @ Ah yes, your jealous ex comment. Not sure that going through the courts would prevent that, so I don't see that as a show stopper. It's a bit like saying we shouldn't send anyone to prison, because someone might frame an innocent person.

  13.  @lukasmadrid1945  Perhaps in the fantasy would you live, but in reality, the courts would do the same as the police. I didn't say it was the same, I said it was "a bit like". Nice straw man.

  14. ​ @lukasmadrid1945  I know you've explained your opinion. I'm not buying it. You seem to think the police don't already have probably cause. They do. This change merely confirms it.

  15. @ Ever heard of probably cause? The police already have that.

  16. Yes, a strawman. When you paraphrased my "a bit like" as "the same as", that was a straw man. A ploy often relied upon by those without a point.

  17.  @lukasmadrid1945  More bureaucracy, you think that's the solution? That's what we have now, and it's not working. Hence this change.

  18. @ Insisting the police go through the court - which is precisely what they do now - rather than handling it themselves, that is more bureaucracy. So no, not a strawman. Reform the courts? How? They already have this power, and it's not working. What specific changes do you suggest to resolve this issue?

  19. @ I never said I knew what the specifics of your solution were, I said that if it involve police going to the courts in these cases, then it is more bureaucratic. I notice you can't answer the question. Too busy with your straw man tactics. Here, let me ask it again. What specific changes do you suggest to resolve this issue?

  20. @lukasmadrid1945  None of the details you mentioned will give people any more chance of getting their phone beck than they have now. So no, you didn't answer the question.

  21. They already do that. Do you think they shouldn't do anything else?

  22. @simonlevett4776  Well that be before or after the sky falls down?

  23. What was the body count?

  24. ​@garyfryer5334 Why would they do that? They won't track anything to my house.

  25. They'll just resort to nicking the bike as well.
