Wow, this article by the New York times is so different than what news have reported in the UK here. It reads like a cheap tabloit newspaper aimed at getting people angry over an issue by purposefully leaving out facts and details which I would consider borderline lies.
The new law is aimed not for any crime victims, but specifically rape and serious sexual offence victims.
> "It comes after a number of rape and serious sexual assault cases collapsed when crucial evidence emerged."
I'd recommend reading this instead: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48086244 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48086244
- DanBC 8y agoi) it's not new ii) it's not law, it's guidance iii) it's not specifically rape and sexual offences, it's all crime when it's relevant. Here's the CPS press release: https://www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/handing-over-mobile-phone-data-rape-prosecutions https://www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/handing-over-mobile-phone-da... I agree the press coverage has been terrible.
- driverdan 8y agoThat article doesn't make it sound any better. If anything it brings up more problems. Text a friend about a rape fantasy years ago and a rapist may go free.
