Civil liberties
Sir, — A disturbing trend is apparent in the latest police action regarding the Rangiora bank case. According to your article the money was deposited in the P. 0.5.8. by the suspect and later withdrawn by the police. Where are our civil liberties heading to when the police can
withdraw a person’s savings just on grounds of suspicion? Clearly a case of a police State. The interest earned on this amount would have made it unnecessary for the suspect to apply for legal-aid and saved the taxpayers a lot of money. — Yours, etc., C. E. FIELD, May 27, 1977.
