Then they wouldnt be breaking the law, so just what laws/provisions were they using?

Hundreds of thousands of Canadian property owners are waiting for you to tell us exactly what provisions/acts they did use. When will you post up the rules that say "once the citizens are evacuated the RCMP have the right to kick your door in and seize your private property"? There have been thousand of people looking to find where that rule is written down, no one has found it yet, enlighten us, please!

The Emergency Measures Act gives the minister in charge the legal right to authorize searches or even commandeer private property to use to combat the emergency. However in a statement to the media, the minister denied authorizing the RCMP to break into homes, or to seize private property from the homes. The RCMP spokesperson confirmed that the RCMP acted without authorization from the minister in charge.

Don't forget Post #72. Without consequences this time, next time they will need our valuables stored for safekeeping also. Oh, & then some of that will be poorly filed & missing. That is not a stretch given how far over the line they are.

Exactly, so any orders were illegal, as was following them. The scariest part is not one officer questioned them.

John...that is old news already.
We know what provisions the RCMP were acting under and we know that those provisions required specific direction aka permission that was not issued by those empowered.
IOW the RCMP assumed authority without permissions that were required...by law.

By registered I mean all classes of firearms which citizens had filed papers for.
High River was a great though belated opportunity to get 'some' numbers
on what the rate of registration compliance was. When the day comes to resuscitate a 2nd generation registry, data from the High River grab will shape how
our masters go about implementing things.

I feel that this was an attempt by RCMP and government above to test the waters to see exactly with what they could get away with before citizens would actually stand up to them.

One day it will happen again and I may be paranoid but history always repeats itself, we are just to stupid or lazy to prevent it. Everyone to a certain degree lives in their little bubble and say " it will never happen here".

It should be everyone duty to question what they did in High River? Total and complete invasion of our rights. People don't seem to realize once they are taken away they are a hell of a lot harder to get back again. If people seriously think that the info from our gun registry is gone, better keep dreaming. Why do you think they went back two or three times to certain houses looking for firearms?

The RCMP should watch what is happening to police stations in the East Ukraine. Once people realize that the citizens actually hold the balance of power petty tyrants are tossed like yesterdays garbage.

I agree they are testing the waters and they were successful. They got away free and clear and with the majority of Canadians supporting it.

It will happen again, it's only a matter of time.

With flood season coming up again, I wonder how many lives will be lost because people refuse to evacuate this time.

Not that it will matter to the RCMP, they will probably use that as a reason to ask for powers to forcibly evacuate.

Exactly, their own illegal actions could lead to lost lives in the future, and then they will attempt to use those lost lives as an excuse to break into homes from that point on. Of course the fact that the RCMP's previous actions, may have been a factor in those lost lives will be irrelevant to the RCMP, and to many other gullible Canadians.
