What is a law in your country that you think should be abolished because you feel it infringes on people’s rights and liberties? (Page 2)

Question

I believe that the law that allows the US government to extradite its own citizens to be tried abroad should be abolished. There is absolutely no reason for such an appalling unconstitutional law to be practiced in one of the most developed nations of the world. It’s inhumane and it infringes on just about every right a US citizen has.  Think about it, once a US citizen gets handed over to foreign law enforcement, that US citizen’s rights are completely nullified since they are no longer in the custody of US authorities. That US citizen would be at the mercy of that foreign law enforcement agency. That could be a problem if it’s a country that is known for human rights violations. Technically the US government can only extradite US citizens to countries that the US has extradition treaties with but quite a few of those countries are known for human rights violations. And even though the US government is less likely to extradite a US citizen to a country if they know their rights will be violated, that US citizen can still be extradited to said country. Even more appalling is how the US government can also make exceptions and extradite US citizens to countries whom the US has no extradition treaties with, including authoritarian countries.  Furthermore, what if an innocent US citizen gets wrongly accused and gets extradited to a country he or she never set foot on based on a misunderstanding like a mistake from the authorities? That’s unacceptable.

The so-called "Hate Speech" legislation that abolishes the right of freedom of speech. It was enacted here under the snowflake guidance of Justin Trudeau. He suffers from being a genetic mix-up: he got his father's hair and his mother's hair.

Not sure off the top of my head without really thinking about it. We’re pretty PC here in the UK now. If anything it’s gone a bit too far the other way.

“Wild camping” is illegal.

Camping needs to be done in specific areas and for limited periods of time.

It’s so weird to me that I can’t just walk off into the bush and live off the land in my own country.

So you've got no problem with someone visiting another country, raping and murdering people, then fleeing back to the US where they'll be immune from extradition and prosecution. Seriously?

The US had extradition treaties with many other countries that allow their citizens to be extradited here for breaking US law.

Why should someone be tried in their own country for a crime that happened in another? How would you feel if your sister was murdered by her husband and he then fled to a country where spousal homicide is winked at?

Any law or order that provides exemptions to politicians

In these cases, where is the alleged crime committed? In the US, or in the foreign country? If it was committed in the same foreign country that the person is extradited to, the extradition makes more sense.

There's this law that inorder to be involved in sexual intercourse for two consenting individuals, they have to get married first. A man and a woman can not have any kind of relationship other than marriage which is quite absurd for me.
