Justice Agenda

The BPOC will install consecutive sentencing for all major offences to ensure public safety from dangerous criminals.

The BPOC will establish an Official Review and Complaints Board for our Federal Justice System to help make make Judges and Parole Boards more accountable for their decisions. In areas such as the release of sexual predators, we will look at requiring them to release a written statement as to why the criminal was released.

The BPOC will eliminate the gun registry and redirect the funds to other areas of policing and housing of criminals. We feel an upgrade of the present registration done through the RCMP will be suitable, and everyone who hasn't registered their old weapons, never will, making the registry obsolete.

The BPOC will strive to fulfill sentences for criminals committing crimes for offences such as murder, weapons related offences, and organized crime offences, having the maximum sentence served without parole.

The BPOC will review the Young Offenders Act making young offenders more accountable for certain crimes. Violent crimes, weapons crimes, and organized crime offences will see young offenders tried as adults. We also support the removal of the publication ban on young offenders found guilty of any violent crime, unless the safety of the offender or his family is in question.

The BPOC will enact what we will call The Child Consent Protection Act, which will leave the age of consent at 14, provided both parties are within 5 years in age of each other. While doing this we will also then make tougher laws on pedophiles, pushing for a safer world for our children.

The BPOC will insure better rehabilitation options for all criminals, and provide life skills courses to help ensure that upon release they can become functioning assets to society.

The BPOC will ensure prisons have an on staff psychiatric nurse for all suicide watch programs in all prisons, ensuring the protection of the inmates.

The BPOC fully supports the idea of stricter regulations for all federal prisons. All use of peripherals such as television, computers, and recreational facilities will be strictly monitored for content and availability. Destruction of said peripherals will install an immediate ban for all prisoners involved in the destruction of property.

The BPOC is in favor of a move towards legalization of marijuana. We feel that this will free up court time, and take away a great deal of income from organized crime.

The BPOC is in favor of stricter regulations regarding granting of parole, especially in the case of dangerous offenders. The BPOC believes tougher parole requirements will make those who want out, better prisoners.

The BPOC will lean towards legalizing prostitution, taxed and regulated by the government. We feel both sides will benefit from this. Said prostitute will be safer, and will be tested for diseases on a regular basis. This would also help ensure safety for both parties involved. We feel no legislation will ever put an end to the "oldest profession", but we can at least protect those involved better.
