Do the Police need more power?

I applaud columnist Marni Soupcoff for calling the Conservatives on this in OpEd Piece on April 27.  I believe their Law & Order fetish is getting the better of them.   And as letter writer Sharon Maclise points out - they leave alot out.

Like the Gun Registry for starters.

Then this story breaks - an RCMP admits forging a memo to avoid revealing his whole unit - responsible for wire-taps - has not been following procedures thereby invalidating evidence gathered in such operations!

Honestly - combined with this journalists last big storey - last fall's discovery that Crown Prosecutors in Barrie ON were using confidential police records to "vet" jury members - has been block-buster news, shaking the practices of the Crown and Police.
