Re: Using a thief to catch thieves?
When you spout nonsense like "I support people being innocent until proven guilty" it suddenly becomes very relevant to this discussion.Originally Posted by Crazed Rabbit
In effect, that's what the Swiss government has done, they have passed a law making a crime, moneylaundering, legal. And you think that's all fine and dandy....The Swiss government isn't breaking any of its' laws, and the people putting money in their banks aren't breaking Swiss law. It certainly isn't on them to enforce the laws of other nations.
No, it would simply be legalizing the harming of human rights. Would you be happy if the US passed a law saying Gitmo was legal? Would you be happy if a law was passed saying the police could beat suspects to get a confession?

Also, beating a confession out of people? Excuse me, are you on some kind of medication? Strawman anyone? Let's get this back into perspective here:
If Germany decides to buy the cd, there is zero chance of any legit person with a swiss bank account having his privacy invaded.
Let's say the cops hear of a house with a ton of cocaine inside. One of the residents in the house nicks the key from the owner, gives the key to the police and tells them that there's a ton of cocaine inside. You believe that in such a situation, the police should not be allowed to enter the house. I believe that's pure rubbish, and that the police should of course go into the house and confiscate that ton of cocaine.
