Remember , I'm defending those that partook or donated,....UNTIL it became illegal. But this discussion was more about trying to make like the police had something to do with it. They get info, they investigate, it's up to the morons up higher what happens with those files.
Yup. Get it. But when the morons say "it's illegal" the police have no choice. Chicken and egg anyone?
As does the career you, and most on here, chose.....
Yeah, but I would say that the definition of what's "illegal" in the CAF has undergone some well earned "re-thinking" in the last few years. Food for thought for the grown ups.
That's a good point and example. I suspect there was an investigation with due process. In fairness I don't know how much investigative work the police did or whether or not there was any sort of due process with the bank accounts. It didn't seem like it to me based off the very little info that was available.
No but wouldn't drive to X's house and put him in jail either.
I was personally against it as soon as they started hoking- I thought that was harassing behavior.
Would one of them be working somewhere else?? Sometimes things happen before investigation is done.....especially if, after a talk from you, it allegedly happened again.
I think the truckers should have been arrested day 1 of blaring their horns. If someone donated money to the gofundme when it was illegal to do so then sure charge them. I just don't like how due process was circumvented because of the very questionable emergency act.
Hell, pretty much every profession has a disciplinary system with lower threshold to find guilt (just balance of probabilities) and looser evidence requirements as compared to the CAF. Instead of a professional disciplinary system, we have a pseudo criminal system.
I think you are applying criminal law standards to regulatory enforcement. The way I understand things, the banks froze the accounts under their regulatory authorities that were enhanced by the Emergencies Act. Freezing the assets can have a dual role; it prevents them from being used to fund whatever has been declared illegal, and it prevents them from being diminished while an investigation is underway. I'm not aware that law enforcement was involved but stand to be corrected on that.
Well Brad, I'm just going to keep breaking the windows in your house until PM Trudeau steps down....
Thanks GTG, I was certain it was there somewhere. It’s unbelievable how people are giving this sort of malfeasance a pass these days.No QV, you weren’t imagining it. I didn’t burrow to find the GoC justification report document itself, but it is a public report and used CBC reporting as primary elements of invoking the EA…
FUREY: Liberals cite CBC 'analysis' to justify freezing bank accounts
The incredible powers that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has given his government to freeze people’s bank accounts is based on their reliance on “analysis”…torontosun.com
And Lich is on day 19 of being held in jail…for what again? Has this ever happened before?
It's like a federal legislation ethical equivalent to holding a microphone in front of a speaker tied to the same system and getting self-induced feedback...so much easier than doing the tough work of conducting your own Threat Risk Assessment and other independent work to justify enacting the most extreme of Federal laws.
Locally we have had one guy charged with illegal firearms offences 3 separate times in one month, and he still gets bail every time. Out of those two I know which lunatic I would rather have on the streets.
