Actually, one of the only useful things in Gene's posting(s) was that he
WAS requesting Legal opinions on these matters which could easily affect
you all. I only wish that someone familiar with Canadian Law would post as
suscinct an explaination of the legal implications of these actions. I'd
like to thank Mike Godwin for taking the time to post useful information on
here and do his bit to raise the signal to noise ratio of this place.

If there is anyone out there with a background in Canadian Law I would be
interested in hearing about the legal implications for a similiar situation
in Canada. 

As some of you may not know, Canada has a different Consitution and 
Bill of Rights (which is a VERY recent thing to have here), which changes
the options available in a legal environment. An example of this, for those
of us who grew up with television eyes, is that there is no legal right (as
far as I know) to a phone call after being arrested in Canada.

In closing, Thanks for the postings Mike and I hope you continue to allow
us access to yourself as a resource for this group. It seems that Gene's
Ego has forced him to move on now that he has been shown as mistaken in
some of these areas. I fail to see the loss of his pop-legal advice as
being too great a difficulty here.
