Bahamas Police investigating if bloggers can be prosecuted
by Rick Lowe

A page three story in The Tribune on Friday, September 29, 2006 by Ms. Alison Lowe is worth noting...at least by bloggers...and particularly as silly season (general election) approaches.

Admittedly some weblogs, or blogs as they are more commonly referred to, push the envelope where defamation is concerned, but limiting this outlet of opinion would be a sad day indeed.

It would appear that Lowe's Law,where Politician's spend their careers making laws to keep everyone else accountable and make the average citizen and business play "fair", yet, they refuse to hold themselves to the same standards, is rearing it's ugly head once more.

There are existing laws relating to libel and these should solve the matter without more government control through additional legislation.

What makes this even more ridiculous is that Members of Parliament can say almost anything they wish, about anyone they wish, within the confines of Parliament with impunity so why should the public or bloggers be restricted?

Let Parliamentarians, individuals and bloggers, live up to the same standards. But I would suggest M.P.'s don't have the courage to defend the average Bahamian's right to free speech as they do themselves.

I hope that this is a campaign issue..every candidate needs to go on record where internet freedom is concerned. I hope that journalists do a good job pinning potential candidates down on this issue and others. I asked The FNM on their website two months ago now about reform to our deed system and those jokers are yet to respond.Does anyone know why a deed conveying land cannot be recorded in a day? That is the question I asked them, and I am still waiting for a response.

Why would you ask that of them and what would you expect them to do about it.

Well, they want to become the government again and land and property rights are our most sought after asset; the question really goes to good government wrt the uncertainty and chaos that can surround property and property rights.It goes to their philosophy about reform. We also do not register babies at birth (I dunno why not). When you register a birth at the registry do they tell you to come back in two years for the birth certificate? What is the difference and why is there a difference.Title searches are meaningless if there is not instant recording of conveyances. The PLP seems to have no real interest in institutional reform so I want to know if the FNM will do things differently.

Trust me lawyers would oppose any form of reform on the registration of land act then they would not get their cut!!!:what:

And lawyers run both parties.

There is nothing inherently bad about the deed system; by the time a conveyance gets to the registry the lawyers' work is done.It is the registry that holds up the recording process, so I do not see why lawyers would not want cliets recorded deeds back the next day.Why can't this happen at the registry?
