text: We had a police officer come to speak to our women's auxiliary at the Church on this last year. Absolutely shocking how the powers to be have been hoodwinked by these special interest groups. If the police attended a domestic dispute years ago unless there was actual signs of injury they would tell the woman to see a Justice of the Peace if she wanted a charge laid. Then this discretion was taken away and they have to arrest the man regardless of the fact that most of these charges go nowhere and tie up an already burdened court system. He also told us that since the Ghomeshi verdict in Toronto the special interest groups want to make charges against men absolute liability offences. He got a lot of questions but after his talk he got a good round of applause. It is nice that the constabulary will send their people to educate groups in the community.
