CCLA SHOULD FIND ELSE TO DO

"The Freedom of no one is safe unless the freedom of everyone is
safe," says the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA)

That all sounds great, so what do they do?

Some of the objectives that guide the organization
are:

. The protection of the fundamental freedoms essential to the
democratic system.

. The promotion of legal protections against unreasonable invasion by
public authority of the freedom and dignity of the individual.

. The promotion of fair procedures for the resolution and adjudication
of conflicts and disputes.

Recently, the Supreme Court ruled the RCMP overstepped its bounds by
allowing a sniffer dog to search in a school for drugs and all charges
resulting from the search had to be dropped.

The case made it to the Supreme Court through action by the
CCLA.

I guess it is now legal for students to bring their drugs to school.
Don't get me wrong, only a small percentage of students use and peddle
drugs, but now that the CCLA has become involved, these predators have
free reign.

My question is, do we need a watchdog like the CCLA? If that is the
kind of "freedom" they protect, the organization would do more for
society if they were disbanded.

The CCLA state it is a non profit, non government law reform
organization dealing with issues of fundamental civil liberties and
human rights that affect those who live all across Canada.

As a parent, I consider any organization that condones drugs in
schools to be infringing on my liberties. I don't care how the police
or school officials rid their premises of drugs. Action has to be
taken and has to be taken immediately. I don't care if they use
sniffer dogs or Bengal tigers. Just get the job done.

As for the CCLA, find something productive to do.

That's the way I see it.

Sincerely

Ted Ross
