I am not a lawyer but in this case, trust me, there is nothing like "right to privacy to accept bribes". If the pendulum swings in favor of the judges, then Ghana is dead with no hope of resurrection. Anas did not invade nobody's privacy because or, even if he did, isn't bribery acceptance an anti-societal sickness or illness?
Anytime we try to come out with some legal technicalities to defeat what Anas did, then I am sorry to say that we are fighting a losing battle against corruption.
The question that I have been asking is, when the issue of corruption comes to the fore, what we hear is "where is the evidence"? So, how or what method can we device to nail those who are knee deep into this reckless and anti-societal behavior?
These judges deserve no sympathy because ethically, morally etc, they are supposed to be above such frailties that can sink the uneducated Ghanaian. These people have been entrusted to uphold justice in an equitable manner but they people are rather, selling justice to the highest bidder.
I don't care if Anas set these judges in their private homes or whatever. The juicy part of the whole case is that, Ghanaians have been made aware that people in whose hands rests justice are rather, thieves, robbers, bribe-takers, fools, idiots, swine, dirty pig etc who hate to see themselves in a clean environment.

My analysis borders on the right to privacy vs public interest to know.
A very interesting debate that am hoping to find out the ruling.
Some one made allusion to the FBI.
FBI agents are protected under provisions of the constitution and the freedom of information act.
Thats the difference.

You have your analysis and i respect it; but what i want to know from you is this;
looking at the public outcry,would you say that,because Anas has violated the privacy of theses judges,if indeed he has committed such offence,the judges should go unpunished?
Laws are made for humans but humans are made not because of Law.
This case must be transferred for the Military to handle with all their might. Do not under rate this issue,public confidence in the judiaciary is at risk; and if it so happens,where would democracy go without judicial trust?

Well said, Pelicles. So, if after all the legal manoeuvrings by these corrupt judges, it's eventually ruled that their privacy was violated, what are we to do? Let them back on the bench? Over my dead body!

I wonder if there is such a thing as private space in a public place.
