There's nothing to change in the Criminal Code. Let's use what we have properly. We don't need to change anything whatever right now.
What's different in the investigation techniques regarding street gangs is that they are less visible, less structured and less obvious. They don't wear patches. We have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada. It's not illegal to wear patches, but it is to commit crimes.
I'd like to help Mr. Toller by telling him that he's not working any miracles if the police aren't doing their job, no more so than if the prosecutor, when seeking the sentence, withdraws the gangsterism charges and, for the needs of the court, doesn't say that the guy belongs to a criminal organization, that he's a member of the Hells Angels. If he says nothing, because there's been a plea bargain in order to send an individual to prison for six years on drug trafficking charges, he doesn't know.
Over the years, I've prepared an album of pictures of all the Hells Angels in Canada. I shared that list of names with the Correctional Service people. When they have a problem, they obviously ask questions. They ask what gang the guy belongs to. The guys said they were members of another particular gang. Officials checked with police. However, if the police don't have all the facts so that they can provide evidence in court, I'm sorry, but the Correctional Service people can't classify the individual: they're forced to classify him in relation to the prison. So it's not them yet. So if people aren't doing their job and there's no communication between the parties, at some point, the inmate may find himself in the wrong wing and get beaten up.
