Those arrests on August 10 for the attempted bombings on planes
.WHY are the Police being so cavalier about announcing what evidence they have got including bomb making equipment, martyr videos, chemicals etc.
Im proud to live in the UK where you are innocent until proved guilty and where possible jury members cannot be swayed by what is in the media. I think its called Subjudicy (can't spell it though!!) .
I think the police are running the risk of getting certain of these people off the hook because they may not get a fair trial. As far as Im concerned the Police should button it, gather the evidence and let the courts decide. If they are guilty fine throw the book at them but this is Blighty and we shouldnt move the way of the way of USA when these kind of things play out in the media before the trial. Dont the press just love it analysisng, surmising, even sometimes making it up ..
I note the BBC report on the matter indicates that the suspects are also guilt of
In a highly unusual development, Mr Clarke went into significant detail about the evidence so far uncovered by police inquiries. These included:
69 searches of houses, flats and business premises, vehicles and open spaces
Searches had also found more than 400 computers, 200 mobile telephones and 8,000 computer media items such as memory sticks, CDs and DVDs
Police experts have removed 6,000 gigabytes of data from the seized computers alone.
TBH I think he above haul would be found in midst of the garages and living rooms in at least half of the homes of the members of AV Forums!
