Just wondering how everyone feels about these undercover operations the RCMP are using. By acting like the average joe to get the info they are looking for, where sometime they are trying to get someone to confess to something they did not do just because of a benefit bribe.
Mr BIG scenarios are built in conjunction with Crown Prosecutors and former defence lawyers and police undercover units.
They are highly successful and are usually the only means available to get the bad guy.
They are expensive and not used much due to that.
But what price do you put on justice???? If my kid was dead because of some creep, if I didnt get to the guy first, I'd hope the police would do everything in their power to get the bad guy.
I'm all for them. Whatever it takes, get the bad guy.
Good topic for discussion. Im sure we will get all sides on this one.
whatever will get the job done, as long as there's not torture or forcing people to confess to things they didn't do!!
i mean we all need the creeeps off the streets, and for the average person who's got nothing to worry about, that shouldn't be a problem!
As long as they have the right authorization (from a judge or so), then let them do whatever's right to help us and make us and our families safer by removing danger off the streets.
what about the guy admitting to something he didn't do and been prosecuted for it. That's entrapment to me but I want to get the bad guy as much as you.
If you don't get involved in criminal activity, you should have nothing to worry about.
If you brag about criminal activity (doesn't matter if he's truthful or not) in order to get further into a criminal organization, to commit acts that cause harm to society, I say lock the door and throw away the key.
