BBC News - Extradited Briton Chris Tappin denied bail in US

BBC News - Extradited Briton Chris Tappin denied bail in US

Isn't it good to see that the US are as fair as ever. When a case is so clearly 'incitement' it would be thrown straight out of an English court. Why do the citizens of the US let their government get away with so much rubbish. Perhaps they don't give a damn. Well I may just tell them to push off next time I see one.

If the US is so trusting of their 'agents', it's no wonder they're in such a mess. Not enough judicial oversight I think. We might find out what happened to US integrity and honesty.

The sooner the extradition treaty is reviewed and repaired the better.

What the heck is 'probable cause' anyway? He could be a criminal so we'll destroy the rest of his life on the off chance of a conviction? Well of course now we've got him we can engineer anything we like to prove our case.

In the UK we have to provide evidence to a judge that a person has committed a crime before extradition can take place but apparently not the other way round.

There is an awful lot wrong with the way the US is using their 'local' law to police the rest of the planet.

At the end of the day, why should anyone trust the US?
Renegotiate the Extradition Act 2003 now.
