Wait, you’re saying incarceration someone for 18 months without charges or trial is somehow alright?

No. Not alright.

If you think it’s fine I encourage you to go through it. Oh you’re not interested in spending 18mo in jail? Then STFU.

So, what then? Allow people to be in contempt of court with complete impunity?

[hgsgm]

Surely there is some sense of proportionality?

Is refusing to speak worse than the average felony?

Yes I do think that we (society writ large, acting through the mechanism known as “a democratically elected government”) should be able to compel people to face our justice system.

It’s all part of due process.
