Harper Bringing Back "Anti-Terror" Powers for Canadian Police
Like this post? Yes | No    
Canadian Prime Minister Stephan Harper has told CBC during an interview that he will be reintroducing extra anti-terror powers for police. These are powers that you do not want police to be having, including the ability to arrest without a warrant if you are a suspect of "terrorism", and "preventative detention" for up to 72 hours.

Quote:
The clauses were part of the act, introduced in 2001, and were required to be renewed every three years. They allowed for preventive detention of suspects for up to 72 hours, granted police the ability to arrest terrorism suspects without a warrant and enabled judges to compel witness to testify.

I hate how they umbrella the whole Islamic community into rebellious radicals. Most young Islamic followers do not agree with the radical idea's of those who would choose to carry out terrorists attacks. And how does a judge compell witnesses to testify? It's like having a snitch, they will probably lie just to hear the judge say "good job puppy, you can go on your short leash back into the dangerous world, but we will be here for you."

This.

As much as I dislike Harper, I also dislike the kind rhetoric that is casually tossed around without actually knowing the full deal. It weakens valid arguments against the Harper gov. and it just feeds their conformation bias that those who oppose are just reactionaries with very selective blinders on.

We really gotta be better than this, if we want to change any minds.
