		<description><![CDATA[The Save-On Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria wants to take B.C.'s anti-smoking legislation a bit further.  Not only will they enforce the existing No Smoking laws, they will also prohibit the innocuous carrying of cigarettes by patrons on the premises.
Possession of cigarettes is neither illegal nor dangerous per se.  Searching explicitly for cigarettes, without the pretence (which I assume will be assumed) of searching for illegal or dangerous goods, is trespass to the person, bordering on the tort of assault.  Confiscating those cigarettes is conversion; the Save-On Foods Memorial Centre is counting on your complacency and acquiescence as it invades your space and takes what it rightfully yours.  Are they going to compensate you for the cigarettes?  Return them at your whim?  I doubt it.  This erosion of civil liberties has gone on long enough. <a href="http://weblawg.costinmedia.com/wp/legal-explorations/victoria-venue-to-infringe-civil-liberties/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Drivers - non-criminal citizens from whom the police derive their power - are having their fear of being ticketed isolated, transformed into a fear of the police, and capitalized upon to drive a policy goal that in and of itself should never pass Section 1 muster.
Could the momentum of enshrining the police vs. citizens paradigm lead to the political annihilation of servamus?  In other words, could the potential transformative effects on society of engendering a public fear of police be out of proportion with traffic safety objectives? <a href="http://weblawg.costinmedia.com/wp/legal-explorations/servamus-fearing-the-image-of-the-vancouver-police/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
