There has to be some leaway within the legislation to stop criminals abusing it

I was addressing those who seem to think that Human Rights can only be for SOME people and not for others.My point is this.If you make exceptions just where does it end?Who is deemed more worthy than others and by whom?
I'm saying you can't have pick and choose rules/laws.They either cover everyone or no one.
Of course you can amend and rewrite and make clearer certain aspects BUT human rights have to be applied to all.After all even the most innocent have been known to have been arrested,charged,found guilty,sentenced to death/prison and then years later been exonerated of any crime..If some had their way this would happen far more often than it does at present.
