[SailfishDevel] Right to silence

[Filip Kłębczyk]

 From English Wikipedia:

The right to remain silent is a legal right recognized, explicitly or by 
convention, in many of the world's legal systems.

The right covers a number of issues centered around the right of the 
accused or the defendant to refuse to comment or provide an answer when 
questioned, either prior to or during legal proceedings in a court of 
law. This can be the right to avoid self-incrimination or the right to 
remain silent when questioned. The right usually includes the provision 
that adverse comments or inferences cannot be made by the judge or jury 
regarding the refusal by a defendant to answer questions before or 
during a trial, hearing or any other legal proceeding. This right 
constitutes only a small part of the defendant's rights as a whole.

I will repeat one part.

*The right usually includes the provision that adverse comments or 
inferences cannot be made by the judge or jury regarding the refusal by 
a defendant to answer questions before or during a trial, hearing or any 
other legal proceeding.*

Now let all think, was it ok for Jolla employees (that mostly dominated 
yesterday meeting, check in irc logs who was talking most of the time) 
forcing me to speak and what kind of comments they've made about that.

While I respect Thomas Perl right to be silent - it's his choice and I 
would like others to respect the fact that I was silent during 
yesterday's meeting. Moreover I clearly stated that I will reply on 
mailing list after meeting which I've did as promised. I just didn't 
feel that I will have equal chances to express myself, when Jolla 
employees where dominating on it.
