Re: Magistrate Reprimanded
Balaclavas have been mentioned but no-one would be permitted to wear a face concealing balaclava in a court of law, even if it was one of the new ones in gaudy colours.

Why put a poll up in the first place Cashy in the mode of for/against if you don't agree with anyone who puts 'for' Not very democratic methinks.
Strange questions anyway, should have been: 'Should they wear veil in court or not !?' yes or no ?.. not 'yes/the lunatics have won/no' ? (showing your prejudice with the comment) I would have voted 'no' but can't vote on the negative as it is influenced .. all very confusing.

Re: Magistrate Reprimanded
its not a matter of i agree or not katex, was wondering how many thought this was an acceptable thing to do, obviously 30-1 not many. also trying to draw out these so-called political folk, who NEVER comment on these things. after all the public vote em in, do they really represent us? i wonder.

You need to see a persons face to use their body language to decide if they are telling the truth or not. Something quite useful in a court room.

Re: Magistrate Reprimanded
Would a veiled woman be allowed to keep her veil on if she was a suspect taking part in an identity parade?

Re: Magistrate Reprimanded
I only asked because this woman, a shop girl at Heathrow, Samina Malik, was shown on the news yesterday leaving court during her trial, prior to her being found guilty last month of terrorist offences, wearing a full face veil.

Oh, this just gets better and better.
