British Government to British citizens, “Fuck your presumption of innocence”

Key point…
…The passing of the bill also signals that so-called three-strikes policies is how many governments and media companies intended to protect copyrights. Three strikes is the term used to describe the sending of multiple warnings to suspected illegal file sharers. Under such laws, after a certain number of warnings, if the accused fails to stop, an Internet service provider can be required to suspend or terminate service….
Note the words “…suspected illegal file sharers…”, not proven guilty in any reasonable way.
As I’ve stated before, I do not advocate any kind of criminality, the law should protect people from theft, but where in this law or potential application thereof is the presumption of innocence that is pivotal to our Western justice system?
Based of what I’ve seen of this law so far all we need is the “copyrighters” say so that that some one is violating copyright to shut down their internet.
First of all I wouldn’t trust these assholes as far as I can throw them, second of all what if it’s someones kid that doesn’t know any better or someones neighbour stealing WiFi? I doubt my mom who barely knows how to turn on her computer would know enough to stop that if it were to happen.
This law is not balanced and is open to abuse as per most laws passed by Liberal fucktards.
Where are the checks and balances and where is the due process?
And because I’m tired, “fuck you Rick Cotton”.
