I am seeing some practical difficulties in this amendment. I have no problem with the intention, but there are some practical difficulties. For example, at what point is it recorded? Because I am seeing a problem where a police or a law enforcement agent is to reveal that a crime may be committed or that somebody committed a crime. According to this, before searching or detaining such persons, he first says: “Can you, please, wait here? I first want to record the reasons why I want to arrest you.” That, to me, is not practical. It is going to make it actually impotent. It is not practical that before you detain or search, you first of all record the reasons. I think this is adequately covered in our law that states that you must obtain a search warrant where you have reasons to believe that an offence has been committed."}
