I've read several articles in Lawyers Weekly, the criminal law reports, that express some concern over this legislation, not because of a particular act or investigation that the police were involved in, but rather the overall idea or concept of the police being described as being above the law. As I explained in my presentation, this is not about the police being above the law. It's about organized crime and it's about providing the police with the tools to carry on with their investigation in a very carefully circumscribed piece of legislation and a tight framework that we in fact have tightened even more than the legislation.
