Conviction by a court after due process overcomes this, imo.

There might be a case for arbitrariness under the fundamental justice clause here, but I'm not sure. Basically, the SC could over rule this if they don't like it's implications, but it's not a slam dunk and a strict reading of the charter wouldn't necessarily disallow this law.
