Sod 90 days, lets go for a lifetime!
Police cheifs are asking to be able to hold people for as long as it takes to fulfill an investigation.
How long could that take? In this day of CCTV cameras and emails, it can take as long as the time someone is prepared to spend. There's always going to be one more CCTV camera to check, one more email log, on more web forum, one more PC's hard-disk. All the while, an innocent person is sat in a cell. I'd hate to be locked up for a single day, much less 90 days, and much less for an unknown length of time - that would be the worst aspect: not even knowing how long I was going to be there.
