Unlawfull Arrest of Resister in Canada

[Niflmir]

It did say he was actively denouncing the war, and traveling the country. Perhaps that is sufficient reason for them to search for him.

Oh, who gives a Fiddler's Damn about international law! I mean, really!

I have no sympathy for those that desert an all-volunteer army. Pure, unadulterated cowardice, IMHO. I have no sympathy for them, and Canada doesn't need them.

That said, I have even LESS sympathy for cops that boot in people's doors without warrants, and arrest people without cause. There was no cause here because deserting the US Army is NOT a crime in Canada. There is a big problem with the police here.

CDN Bear, to enter a dwelling without warrant, the police require reasonable cause to believe someone is in DANGER of harm, or they must be in hot pursuit of a suspect.........nothing else should suffice.

I'll have to remember that, if I ever decide to be an asshat criminal again and it happens to me again. I don't like the story, it's a par for the course "Cops did bad, criminal is victim" opinion piece. Nothing more, all the facts aren't in yet and I'm having difficulty believing the cops on the left coast would accept a phone call from the US Army, let alone take orders from them.

I agree with you. I am suspicious of the premise that a US Army official can, in essence, order our police to do something like this.
