In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for.

CARDING - NOT JUST A VIOLATION OF CIVIL LIBERTIES- IT'S GODDAMNED ILLEGAL



Today's Waterloo Region Record carrys an Opinion article by Luisa D'Amato titled "leave innocent people alone". It's in regards to the apparently fairly common tactic of carding engaged in by Toronto police. While we all know that the police can pretty much demand identification, driver's licence, insurance and car ownership from an automobile driver they are not permitted to demand identification of pedestrians. The fact that it happens regularily in Toronto, Peel, DurhamOttawa and hamilton actually makes it all the more repugnant. Is it becoming obvious to folks that they are more likely to be harassed or assaulted by police officers than by criminals yet? What a country.
