Max Hill, newly-appointed director of public prosecutions: “We shouldn’t be trawling rape complainants’ phones.”

Philip Davies was extremely critical of Hill's appointment. Looks like he's been proved right yet again.

A number of rape cases have collapsed in the past year after the defence got access at the 11th hour to evidence that had not previously been disclosed to them. Several defendants spent months on remand.

Mr Hill said that police and prosecutors were struggling to deal with disclosure in criminal trials because there was so much digital evidence.

Several rape cases collapsed because the prosecution illegally kept exculpatory evidence secret from the defense, and the proposed solution is "We will no longer collect exculpatory evidence"

Well, problem fucking solved!

E Mitchell comments:

If you are arrested, your devices will seized and trawled through. At this stage you are an innocent person, yet this is considered to be proportionate and accetptable. Given that in cases of alleged sex offences consent is often an issue, where else is the evidence of that going to be found except in the devices of both complainants? The high profile trials have collapsed because at the 11th hour it is discovered, usually on the device of the complainant, that there is clear evidence of consent. I cannot believe that Mr Hill is supporting a situation where complaints’ devices should be regarded as off limits for inspection.

I think E Mitchell has the right of it.

This is like the laws in Canada where the defense has to show the prosecutor their evidence, this is intended to prevent men proving their innocence, that's all this is about.
