New legislation planning to modernize criminal procedure law is getting support from Fundy Royal MP Rob Moore.
Moore, who is also the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice says the proposed amendments to the legislation will allow police and prosecutors tools to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively.
Changes include creating an offence that prevents people from fleeing to avoid prosectution, improving the application procedure for search and seizure warrants, and allowing fingerprinting and photos to be taken of someone in custody, who hasn't been charged or convicted of a crime.
Moore says these changes will improve Canada's Justice System.
