We the people of Trinidad & Tobago by our signatures state clearly to all in authority that we not only DO NOT support this draconian and oppressive legislation, that we INSIST that it be withdrawn without assent or proclamation.
We call on the government to retreat from this dictatorial path and to respect the rights of the citizens as enshrined in the Constitution.
We also insist to all in the legislative process, that wherever the rights to freedom of thought, expression, privacy, liberty, freedom of movement and of association are vague or unclear, that they be amended to become pellucidly clear.
By our signatures we say so, let it so be done.

Proper oversight needed No political appointees Judges to approve invasion of privacy
Any tool used to limit freedom of speech and expression, and to monitor the actions of a population is dictatorial and must not prosper.
Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago Chap. 1:01 Sec. (4). It is hereby recognised and declared that in Trinidad and Tobago there have existed and shall continue to exist, without discrimination by reason of race, origin, colour religion or sex, the following fundamental human rights and freedoms, namely: (C) the right of the individual to respect for his private and family life
To pass sweeping legislation which will infringe on a citizen's right to privacy is unconstitutional and goes against the very principles of democracy. I do not agree that law abiding citizens should be lumped in with criminals for whom they say this law is intended. There are other laws that can be put in place to fight the war on drugs. Do not use this as an excuse to spy on the people.
We are entitled to privacy, not because we have anything to hide, but because we live in a democracy
Infringement of personal privacy
This is really a high handed approach here. !! This must not be allowed. There is a hidden agenda here!!

I have no political party affiliation. I want good governance and transparency. I also cherish my privacy. I need convincing that my right to privacy will be safeguarded. Well. not only my right but that of all citizens.
