"He says he felt harassed by authority and helpless against police he believed were determined to pin a crime on him." - hard to blame him for thinking that, isn't it? Especially as that's exactly what they did.
"News that the first person jailed for the offence of not talking in a police interview has been judged no threat to national security and suffers from a mental condition associated with paranoia and a fear of authorities is unlikely to win RIPA Part III new supporters." - you're telling me! This is an absolutely disgusting abuse of powers that were intended to be used against terrorists. Clearly the laws were passed, as so often with this wretched govt, with no thought at all of proper control measures or any kind of prevention of improper use.
The only bright side to this whole sorry saga is that the guy will hopefully get the help he needs.
Of course there's no telling when - or even if! - the country as a whole will get the help IT so desperately needs...
