I was also wondering if you believe this legislation would prevent incidents like the 2009 arrest of Mr. David Chen for kidnapping after he detained a shoplifting suspect. I know he received an acquittal ultimately, but my understanding is that one of the issues that figured in Mr. Chen's case was the period of time between the commission of the offence and the arrest, and that resulted in the kidnapping charge.
