It is amazing ...Thank you for providing this Blog.<br /><br />It is amazing to think of the reduction in protection of privacy and increase in police powers. <br /><br />Could you imagine this being allowed in Canada or the US during the Cold War years? The West would NEVER become a policed, freedom less state and a WWW3 would be fought over such beliefs....ahh, but here we are Comrade. <br /><br />I don’t understand the acceptance of such warrant less and acceptance of "presumed guilty- prove innocents" by Canadians. <br /><br />Any info, comments on articles or published papers would be of interest on your Blog.<br /><br />My theory:<br />-FEAR and manipulation/disregard for Crime stats by police supportive agencies and corporations. <br />-An increased immigrant population who have come from Dictatorial or police state countries and are accepting or feel comparatively less policed here.<br />-Increased power is a glorified "Make Work" campaign for police agencies.<br /><br />Sad to think how large a percentage of my property tax goes to police, compared to Health care and Education. Police services are more than 4 X the amount used for Healthcare and Education combined!!<br /><br />More warrant-less powers allow more “assumed guilty” automatic property seizure thus more Proceeds of Crime booty for police. But what is the social and mental heath costs to those so unjustly invaded and eventually found innocent? It is an effect that many should suspect is having a staggering negative effect on society. But all better to support an increased police-friendly carte-blanch court.<br /><br />Thank you for your interst in supporting what is left of our personal freedoms and protection of something so improtant- the natural order of being assumed innocent without requiring to provide proof of such, less you are assumed guilty.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09832030288427329650noreply@blogger.com
