GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT

PMS is going ahead with his guilty till proven innocent law.

The Tory government will introduce new legislation next week that would make it easier to designate criminals found guilty of a third sexual or violent crime as dangerous offenders, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Thursday.

The bill would put the onus on a person found guilty of a third violent crime to convince a judge not to designate them a dangerous offender.

This legislation is clearly unconstitutional and flies in the face of the very foundations of our legal system that the onus is on the state to prove its case. PMS surely knows this which makes it clear he’s more interested in crafting wedge issues than viable legislation.
