My answer is absolutely, yes. I think it has to be done with care and caution.
I'm very lucky in that two years ago I got to spend a month and a half in the United Kingdom meeting with the College of Policing and the Crown Prosecution Service to talk about exactly this issue, as they were trying to do training as well as enculturate people to use the law.
One of the things that has happened, because their training has gotten better and better and because they've had some statutory reviews on how they're doing it, is that the incidents of police officers using it as they become better trained and more comfortable with using it means they bring better evidence into court, which means the Crown is better able to do its job, etc. If you look year over year, the course of control legislation as used by police and Crown prosecutors is going up 30% every year. Although the number is very small and it was only about 3% in 2019, I think we're heading in the right direction.
We're very lucky in that other jurisdictions have done this work and are already doing it, so we have a model we can look at. I know that police want to use a tool like this and we would be giving them something they want, not something they'd be resistant to.
