Drives me absolutely nuts when people justify charter violations as "well you just shouldn't commit crimes and you won't have anything to worry about". Screw you.
If a law is enacted in contravention of the constitution it isn't a law.

The only way it's found in contravention of the charter is if its CHALLENGED and deemed unconstitutional by the judiciary. What drives me absolutely nuts is people like you who automatically assume something that goes against their personal beliefs is illegal or unconstitutional. The law is being proposed as a deterrent to people committing a crime (yes it is a crime) that endangers people's lives! Screw you indeed.
