Title:

Vancouver Police Discuss Changes to Warrants

Description:

Police officials in Vancouver have been successful in operating a warrant program that allows them to transport accused criminals back to their jurisdiction but have been unable to further modify the law to include criminals who enter the area from jurisdiction where a warrant may only have a four hundred mile radius. For example, an accused criminal who has been arraigned alongside an Ottawa criminal lawyer might not be eligible for arrest if he flees the jurisdiction to a point that extends beyond the reach of a warrant that was originally created in Ottawa or in a distant province.
