Here’s the problem: The police aren’t going to investigate to see whether the charge is true. They will just react. IOW take away someone’s rights then try to find the time to investigate whether they should have done it.
Hopefully, we’ll never personally know what harm these “Red Flag” laws can do.
HST, the police aren’t the problem - the law is the problem!
It would appear that there are NO safeguards against erroneous or malicious “tattling” on someone and the ultimate seizure of their weapons.
No penalty for false accusation can lead to high order evil mischief-making, and it would appear that even if a person prevails, and gets their guns back (and who knows what condition your prized collection will be in when it is returned?), they have no recourse to recover damages.
“Red Flag” laws need to be repealed!
