On the over all scheme of things I have no problem with policing. It is when the criminals go through that courthouse with that revolving door. Catch the criminal, and he gets one day in jail and eighteen months probation. Talk to me about that, will ya?

Too late should have asked before they sign contracts

Spend as much time solving crimes as they do collecting taxes through traffic fines.

Raise cell phone use fines to impaired driving.

Shirley Bond wasn’t too interested in listening to anyone before she signed up the RCMP to another long term contract.
We found out after the fact,but then I am sure she was just doing what Christy Clark told her to do.
There are two huge problems here, and we have all been saying it for a long time now…Shirley isn’t listening.
Cops investigating cops should NEVER happen…period.
The other is the revolving door in our a court system…assuming a judge doesn’t throw the case out before it even goes to trial!
Bond is an amature and has no business doing what she is doing…and it shows!
So what is this?
Smoke and mirrors?
Trying appear like you care and actually have the authority to do something?
She already knows very well where the problems are and so does Clark,but they have neglected to do anything about them.
All the silly “blogs” in the world won’t change that.

Seems like a feel good PR campaign to me more than anything else. Harbinger, pretty much nailed it, the policing is more or less fine, but they’re rendered impotent by our justice system.

It concerns me that from her quote, it seems Bond thinks that policing and justice are one, but that is far from the reality. Unfortunatley, the police are just pawns in the justice game, policing is a whole different matter the basically boils down to keeping the peace, and cataloguing evidence associated with crime.

Courts uphold the laws and they’re doing a lousy job of that, but that’s not the fault of the police.

We need to review that crap Trudeau shoved down our throats. If your guilty of a crime, I think you should loose your civil rights, until you have paid for the crime or spent your due time in the slammer.

The Justice system should get back to what it should be, YOu commit the crime, you spend the time. I’ll pay more taxes if thats what it takes. eventually there will be a point where crime does not pay.

You may mean that they work in unison. Whether they do or not, however, does not matter from the point of view whether they are one system working as a team. Like a football team, all members have a role to play.

The definition of a criminal justice system is “a series of organizations involved in apprehending, prosecuting, defending, sentencing, and jailing those involved in crimes – including law enforcement, attorneys, judges, courts of law, prisons.

All have their part to play. The interesting thing is that in this country and in most western countries judges judge and do not apprehend, while police apprehend and do not judge. Prosecutors prosecute and defence attorneys defend ……

I know, it is weird, but that is how it is even if it is difficult for some to comprehend. ;-)

“If your guilty of a crime, I think you should loose your civil right”

You would be right at home in North Korea. ;-)

Send them to N. Korea to work as a “light bulb installation technician. No cal for those? Keep them in a labour camp. For that matter, seeing as how we are over run with Chinese imports, why not send for “Re-education camp plans”?
