New trials ordered because officers sold hash to suspected traffickers! The RCMP broke the law when it arranged the sale of 50 kilos of hashish to set up suspected drug lords, and cannot avoid being questioned about the deal, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled yesterday.
It ordered new trials for two Toronto men convicted of trafficking in drugs after RCMP undercover officers arrived at a hotel rendezvous in 1992 ostensibly to sell them the drugs with a street value of almost $1-million. Over the past three decades, the RCMP has periodically got into hot water over sting operations to snare suspects. Those range from burning barns in Quebec to blowing up oil wells in Alberta. The Supreme Court also ordered the Department of Justice to reveal the contents of a legal opinion it gave the RCMP before the raid, saying federal commitment to wage a "war on drugs" is insufficient to justify an illegal sting."We were astonished when the government lawyers had the audacity to argue that the RCMP have some kind of state immunity and could break the law with impunity," defence lawyer Alan Gold said in an interview yesterday. "What is very important," he added, "is that the court has made it very clear the end does not justify the means -- even if the end is the war on drugs."Click the above link for the full article!
