Criminals getting compensation, kids running riot, I'm not safe on the street or in my house and I can not defend myself. The police have become next to useless because of it.

It looks like we can start something here to change things before its to late for our children. If your ready to start a campaign then email me at smithnweston2001@yahoo.co.uk and I'll let you know whats happening. Incidently for the one idiot, I don't read newspapers at all, I have read the Human Rights Law and I see whats happening on the streets, get out more.

I have put a petition on the Downing Street website to suspend the Human Rights Laws until they have been reviewed. This should be active from tomorrow or however long this takes. Email smithnweston2001@yahoo.co.uk to find out more.

Trust someone like Amir to come along, he obviously doesn't see the crime on the streets or talk to the police as I do. They are feeling useless and do behave differently due to the Human Rights Act. It's idiots like you that cause this rubbish in the first place.

I think you are right - human rights laws do seem to protect the minority and not the majority - the majority appear to suffer because of them. You can't challenge their existence - but if your community is suffering as a result of the police not stopping certain criminals/activities for instance and that lack of action is affecting the whole communities quality of life then you can pursue that - authorities have a 'positive obligation' and often they are not applying it to the extreme issues some areas are facing.
If you do pursue - let us know - there will be thousands behind you!!

I know what you mean, but challenging human rights laws is not the answer. ASSERT your human rights as a law-abiding citizen.
The police have become next to useless because of government policies. The police would like nothing better than to be able to do the jobs they trained for.
I feel the same way you do and am currently trying to find out whether there is a movement for people like us. If there isn't, I'm seriously considerating starting one. My opening statement would go something like this:
"Of course criminals have rights. They have the right to remain silent. They have the right to an attorney. They have the right to a fair trial and the right to confront their accusers in court. They have the right to humane treatment while incarcerated and the right to lodge one or more appeals of their sentences. But criminals do not have the right to deprive victims of their human rights to live their lives without harm to their persons or their property or threats of harm. Common criminals are no better than the bloodiest tyrant, because they share with bloody tyrants the same blatant disregard for the lives, wellbeing, property and freedoms of others. In the commission of their crimes, they willfully hurt, destroy, instill fear, cause emotional distress and physical pain to innocent people.
How can I, a private individual, protect myself against this tyranny? I cannot attack a criminal I catch in the act, because I will be prosecuted and imprisoned even if my action was in self-defence. I cannot defend my family or my property because someone I did not vote for decided on my behalf that a criminal's rights outweigh mine. I cannot depend on the police to help me, because what's the point in arresting suspects if the CPS will not prosecute them? I cannot depend on the CPS to prosecute criminals because the prisons are full. I cannot depend on the government - the one I didn't vote for - to build more prisons because they think that incarceration is inappropriate for criminals. Instead, they believe that criminals - even persistent offenders and career criminals - can be rehabilitated by sending them on foreign holidays rather than British jail cells."
I haven't finished my speech yet. I'll let you know when it's ready for publication.

The funny thing is that you could come up with anything, not having your tea on the table at five o'clock, as damaging your human rights. They were written in such a manner that any fool can crack them... so in answer to your question, yes you can.
