Roy Green - Sun Dec 14 - Scott Newark

Supreme Court of Canada rules police may conduct a limited search of a suspect's mobile phone without obtaining a prior search warrant.

The Supreme Court of Canada also agrees to hear the federal government's appeal of the Alberta Court of Appeal's decision that Omar Khadr who confessed to five crimes including murder during his trial at Guantanamo Bay prison must be permitted to serve his remaining time in a provincial prison. The federal government wants Khadr to serve his time in a federal prison.

A 45 year old Winnipeg man who intervened in a domestic dispute between a 33 year old male and his girlfriend will not face criminal charges after becoming embroiled in a physical exchange with the 33 year old (Marlon Dean Laronde) who was punched, fell and died. The Crown Attorney calls it a homicide but says the 45 year old man intervened only because he was concerned about the woman's safety.

And a New York rap song/video is calling for and depicting the murder of NYPD officers. Participating in the video are public defender lawyers known as the Bronx Defenders who have received more than $40 million from the City of New York. NYPD is furious.

Guest: Scott Newark, Former Alberta Crown Attorney, former executive director of the Canadian Police Association and post 9/11 security advisor to the Ontario and federal governments.
