I believe he did. That entire case was bizarre. Im still not able to follow the whole thing- it was ridiculous. A more well composed statement from this article: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2013/06/28/pol-pmo-guns-alberta.html What a mess.

They were searched for injured or survivors etc. However. I know more than a few mounties that would seize a rifle with a trigger lock out of 'ignance'. There was a communication issue for sure- you can tell there was an issue when you see sections where mounties are "ordered" back to discuss...

We re in agreement. It was a terrible way to speak with the media- it leaves everything open for speculation. Which is contrary to the point. However I dont see it as being untruthful- I see it as someone who is talking too much and having their words dissected. This is another RCMP "seemed like...

AND! Before the suggestion comes out that they searched houses with PAL etc more than others. It isnt feasible the way the system is designed in this type of situation to track down that info at the ready and get it to the hasty teams. That suggestion would be dumb. Lots of people on boards are...

also "proof of ownership" isnt defined. Serial number and a firearms licence. Etc. They dont want to hang on to firearms- they are a burden. And we need to keep track of them at several levels. They would all be ledgered by residence but mistakes are made so having serial numbers is important...

Id be curious for more info as well- I can admit that my own perception of reality is unusual due to what im exposed to. I dont ever see people at their best thats for sure. So I dont come across resposible gun owners outside of ranges and gun shops. But really how woujld I know? Its not like I...

I should add- I had to explain that LGR info thing to a mountie. He was under the impression we could still get all that info. And there was some resistance when it all came down that the guns didn't need to be registered to be returned to their rightful owners. There is alot of education...

Where Im at when someone dies we have to get the firearms within hours. If we dont the house will be broken into and all the guns and cash removed. Nothing else. This is a regular everyday occurrence. It doesnt matter what you believe- this is reality. People use the opportunities to steal...

People leave an enormous amount of improperly stored, non secured firearms lying about. It is a normal everyday occurrence to across one or more during a shift if you wind up in a few houses. During the initial response to the evacuation they would have had to search the houses where they would...

Dive teams are heading out now.

So- I was issued two sets of these brown boots yesterday. They aren't uncomfortable at the moment but they dont seem to be durable. Im concerned about doing anything in them and then having to make them presentable.

I could see this if it was a blanket suggestion- but the items on the "primary" offences list require victims- how would we inflate the databank without a corresponding increase in violent crime?

Interestingly enough- the child fingerprinting initiatives go into a different databank with assurances that it will never be accessed for criminal search purposes.

My DNA and my fingerprints are on the databank. I have no issues with this. For everyone else- the fingerprints of every police officer are on the databank. I wouldnt mind if DNA was as well.

Your swab becomes associated with a number is entered in to a Databank- where a profile is generated and the swab is gone. Every once in a while that profile is compared against the unknowns in the databank. There is actually nothing stopping them from removing that profile if you are found not...

Okay- clearly nobody looked at my link about the types of offences that DNA is being sought for. No one is being swabbed for disturbing the peace. There is a specific series of offences- in the link above. There is no authority to seize DNA outside of those offences. Rather than this...

Like I said- Im on the fence. I do fail to see how a buccal swab is a gigantic thing when a guy is sitting in cells for kidnapping or murder. Could one of you actually articulate the rights intrusion? I dont think the need is articulated well but I also dont understand the strong reaction. We...

What if arrested/charged for a violent crime (like primary compulsory from the link)? Which is the actual suggestion?

The article is terribly written. In the Criminal Code there is a section that defines "primary" and "secondary" offences- these are the only offences that somebody can have DNA taken and stored on the databank for. There is significant delay and issue getting the court ordered samples onto the...

reviewing the video various places online, and the comments here and there, I wonder why it always turns into a critique of how they go about their business? Im guilty of it as well lots of times- but it just always seems like it turns into sour faces because someone had a good day at work. Not...
