Preventive arrests illegal: law professor
Le Devoir has a terse statement from a law professor opining that preventive arrests are illegal in Canada and that their growing use is a concern. I doubt this kind of legal advice will change the trend, though.

Ce type d’arrestation est illégal sauf dans les cas prévus à l’article 31 du Code criminel. Ce pamphlet banal de madame Sylvestre ne fait aucunement l’analyse des gestes spécifiques posés par la police. Franchement, je m’attendais à voir un peu plus de rigueur et de profondeur de la part d’une prof de droit.

@Hamza
Don’t you mean LeDevoir is the only source that espouses your point of view? Isn’t that what it comes down to, your shared bias?

I find La Presse to be giving fairly decent coverage, too. Besides JdeM it seems to be mostly Anglo media that’s misrepresenting the facts when they’re not outright distorting them. Even the CBC has a distinct anti-student slant. As an Anglo I’m beginning to find it quite embarrassing.

I also find the coverage by La Presse reasonable. I am fairly disheartened by The Gazette and the CBC on the other hand, my two normal sources for news…
