Nassau, Bahamas, February 15, 2017 – The phone tapping legislation proposed in the House of Assembly may be necessary, says Freeport attorney Fred Smith, but so is consultation. The outspoken lawyer and activist says the regulations propose too many revolutionary ideas not to have first taken it to the general public.
Smith issued this statement and now a campaign to kill the Interception of Communications Bill is challenging the proposal on the grounds of infringement of privacy. Smith says, one’s entire private life will be opened to the world with the enactment of the law.
The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Allyson Maynard Gibson was adamant that the bill does not give room to spying, that the independent Supreme Court will govern it and give guidelines, but Fred Smith is still saying beware.
