Shoplifter: Stephen Harper

Good Faith Dept: Harper said the proposed legislation offers "much more clarity" in the criminal code for citizens involved in cases of self-defence and in the defence of property, according to CTV. Though Harper said people acting in good faith should be protected, he reiterated that police are the "front line of protection against crime." Prime Minister Stephen Harper laid out a proposal on Thursday that would offer more legal protection for people who make citizen's arrests. The proposal follows the high-profile case of David Chen, who is a Toronto shopkeeper who faced criminal charges after he subdued and held a shoplifter at his store in 2009. As reported in the news.
