Canada Considering Arresting BEFORE Crime Occurs - Precrime Unit Coming Soon?

Okay, folks. Have you ever seen the movie Minority Report from 2002?

It stars Tom Cruise and takes place in the future, in the year 2054.

The premise of the film is that Tom Cruise’s character is part of a police unit, Precrime, that solves crimes BEFORE they happen.

They have some device that tells them the future, it prints out a name and then they go out and arrest the innocent man or woman for the crime that was never committed.

Because the machine told them too.

Apparently those in charge in Canada have seen that movie one too many times and thought it sounded like a great idea!

No crime + no victim = issue arrest.

But what machine do they have that can tell them the future?

A judge.

He’ll just figure it out. He’s read enough mystery novels to know whether or not you patriots might be up to no good.

This is outrageous!

The Telegraph reports:

Justin Trudeau’s government has proposed a law giving judges the power to put someone under house arrest if they fear they could commit a hate crime.

Critics have warned the “draconian” bill is an overreach of power and could stifle free speech and difficult discussions.

But Canada’s justice minister defended the measure, claiming it would be an “important” tool to help protect potential victims.

An online harms bill introduced by the Liberals last week proposed a string of laws to protect children and prosecute hate crimes.

One of the suggested measures would give judges the ability to put people under house arrest who they worry could commit a hate crime in the future. The person could also be made to wear an electronic tag if the attorney-general requested it.

Arif Virani, the justice minister, said the measures could prove “very important” in restraining the behaviour of someone who might be targeting minority groups.

”[If] there’s a genuine fear of an escalation, then an individual or group could come forward and seek a peace bond against them and to prevent them from doing certain things,” Mr Virani said.

Preventative measures could include banning the person from being near a synagogue or a mosque or restrictions on internet use.

He said: “That would help to de-radicalise people who are learning things online and acting out in the real world violently – sometimes fatally.”

Mr Virani said content that is “awful but lawful” would remain online and a high threshold would have to be met to use the powers.

“What’s really critical is that it gives the judge a wonderful range of sentences. This is not a mandatory minimum of a life sentence, this is just a larger range, including what would be the maximum sentence,” he said.

Measures proposed in Bill C-63, which was unveiled on 26 February, include a new hate crime offence which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment for the most serious cases.

The bill would also make online platforms swiftly take down child sexual abuse material, as well as sexual content posted without consent.

Following the publication of the proposed bill, Pierre Poilievre, the opposition leader, said his party did not believe in “censoring opinions”.

“We do not believe that the government should be banning opinions that contradict the prime minister’s radical ideology,” he said.

RedState adds:

There are a lot of reasons to be grateful to be an American. For all our nations’ ongoing issues – a senile President, a corrupt Congress, uncontrolled borders, major cities slipping into a new dark age – at least we aren’t (yet) being tossed in jail for something we might do.

That may not be the case in Canada much longer, where their Parliament is considering a law allowing judges to place someone under house arrest if the judge thinks they might commit a “hate crime.”
