Court places severe restrictions on P.E.I. rapist.
Something happened here in Canada over the last few days that has me very worried.
A British Columbia court has placed severe restrictions on the life of a convicted rapist from Prince Edward Island who was set free Monday, just days after he was arrested at Vancouver airport.
When his flight touched down in Vancouver, police arrested him under Section 810 of the criminal code, which permits them to arrest someone for a crime they might commit!
Convicted P.E.I rapist Thane Moore faces severe restrictions after being released from custody in Abbotsford, B.C., on Monday.
Moore, 43, is considered such a high risk to re-offend violently that the Abbotsford, B.C. provincial court has released him to a halfway house in Vancouver and is requiring him to comply with 17 separate restrictions, in return for his continued freedom!
The location of the halfway house has not been disclosed.
Under some of the conditions imposed by the Abbotsford court, Moore must:
*Report to the sex offender unit in Vancouver for the next year.
*Tell police what car he's driving, and where he's working.
*Not be alone in a car with a woman.
*Not carry weapons, except roofing tools.
Moore is facing these restrictions after police used a rarely used section of the Criminal Code to arrest him at Vancouver International Airport Friday afternoon.
Moore had flown to Vancouver after being released from New Brunswick's Dorchester Penitentiary on Friday, where he had served a full 14-year sentence for a 1993 rape committed in P.E.I.
Now the problem is this........ Moore guy did commit a bunch of crimes in Prince Edward Island and did a fourteen year term for them. No parole, no pardon, no early release, he did the whole nut..... and then released a free man!
Yes, I know that authorities say he is very likely to re-offend and I agree with keeping an eye on him, BUT, it somehow goes against my grain when they arrest him for something he might, or might not do!
This is a moral dilemma that is hard to resolve. Which is greater, this guys rights, or societies protection? Does this mean we are one step closer to that slippery slop we call a police state or are we just being prudent?
