A proposed bit of tweaking to criminal law in the country is receiving praise from Fundy Royal M-P Rob Moore.
Moore is also the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice, and says proposed changes to legislation will allow police to become more effective, and efficient.
Some of the changes include allowing police to fingerprint and photograph people taken into custody before being charged or convicted of a crime, introducing a new offence to prevent people from fleeing to avoid prosecution, and changing the application procedure for search and seizure warrants.
Moore says updating the laws will improve Canada's justice system.
