no. stop.

imagine being arrested for stalking somebody that you've never met - that you've never seen a picture of - that you don't know the address or phone number of and that you appear to even have the wrong gender for (i thought i was communicating with a male named ryan, not a female named caroline).

then, imagine the cops telling you that the person's identity is protected by privacy laws when you try to determine who they are in order to sue them.

there would be something unconstitutional about those laws, don't you think?

if the tribunal orders the information, the cops will need to provide it, and i think the situation is at least unusual in that respect. i doubt the existing precedents would really cover the scenario; i think i'm looking for a novel ruling in a bizarre situation.

but, the laws cannot exist in such a state.

what happened cannot be allowed - they need to provide this information. i have a right to it.

the liberals are supposed to do better than this
