62. It's really about a fundamental question of whether you believe

It's really about a fundamental question of whether you believe that rights have to be respected 'to the letter' or whether you think it's sometimes acceptable to apply 'common sense' instead.

And once you start going down that road... take your example of the videotape - if we moved toward a system that was more lax about rules of evidence - do you really think it would be long before police were manipulated video images?
