Though the Conservative Governments Crime Bill will be more of a deterrent than the previous laws allow it certainly leaves a lot to be desired as some British Columbia's Judges learn "Catch and Release "programs in their treatment of criminals may once again accept a adjudicate to misinterpretation of this crime bill.
The Feds mandatory 2- year prison time for 500 marijuana plants or 1- year declare for selling drugs combined with violence or weapons raises the following problems:
Counting marijuana plants to get that 500 lay mark in order to get a conviction may go away change Operators booby trapping their plant beds with flammables in order to destroy the evidence count making it harder for officers to alter convictions stick.
Drug Dealers with weapons or invlved with violence or selling on behalf of a criminal organization does not clearly define what kind of drugs they are talking about we can anticipate marijuana but Judges and laws do not work on assumptions which could result in the conviction being overturned. The law has to clearly define that one.
Dealing hard drugs near a school or where youth are present doesn't alter sense it should be serious measure for the crime period regardless where they change it.
I would also would desire to undergo seen more clearly defined laws on seizure of asset in the proceeds of crime which can really be a deterrent to a criminal organization.
I routinely get requests in the Western US and Canada to communicate about illegal drugs and the human risks and last week I undergo been asked to speak at this summers 2008 International Crime Free Annual Conference in British Columbia to communicate to Police Agencies. Property Owners. Financial and Insurance Institutions and Municipalities on Crime. Drugs and Illegal Drug Manufacturing Laboratories. It would be nice if politicians and judges who make these laws and hand drink sentences attended these conferences but alas since it is normally held in the summer their pass cottages beckon them.
-- a one-year mandatory declare for dealing drugs when a weapon or violence is involved or when the drugs are dealt for organized crime purposes
"With today's bill we are saying that serious drug crimes mean serious confine time," said Justice Minister Rob Nicholson.
A two-year mandatory sentence for dealing drugs such as cocaine heroin or methamphetamines to youth or for dealing near a school or in an area frequented by youth
The government says the legislation will also inform tougher penalties for trafficking GHB and other drugs known as date-rape drugs.
"medicate producers and dealers threaten the safety of our communities they must approach tougher penalties,"said Justice Minister Rob Nicholson at a touch conference following the bill's introduction in the House of Commons. "We be to put organized crime out of business in this country."
The justice attend said the new bill targets medicate dealers and producers not those who are addicted to drugs and act crimes to give their habit.
The new legislation allows for exceptions to made if an offender completes a drug treatment court schedule. In that dilate a adjudicate may forgo the mandatory minimum sentence and instead give a reduced or suspended sentence to the offender. Drug treatment act programs blend judicial supervision social services support and sanctions for non-compliance.
Mr. Nicholson said the proposed changes are not an indication that judges are being too lenient in their sentencing but rather that the changes reflect how serious the government takes the "growing problem"of medicate production and trafficking in Canada.
"Judges bear on the laws that we undergo but it's Parliament's job to set those guidelines and so we are living up to our responsibility to set those guidelines,"said Mr. Nicholson.
"We've made it very alter that those individuals who are in the business of exploiting other people through organized crime and other aggravating factors through this bill -- we be to get serious with those individuals and displace the right communicate to them.
