#4FTA: The Ontario Provincial Police say, “We can knock on someone’s door and say, ‘We’re so worried about you, can we come in and chat?’”
Yikes. I understand the positive spin is the police care about the wellbeing of at-risk people with these visits. But wouldn't it also be true that anything and everything the police observe and believe as a result of such a visit could also be used against the resident or others in the home?

Sounds like negative behavior, doesn't it?

#7We tend to complain when failure by communication between social services and law enforcement results in unnecessary deaths. Now Canadian law enforcement has started a program that brings this synergy and we raise concerns about our privacy.
Although the concerns about privacy are grounded; I would love to see the evaluation of this program after one year. I believe that if we want to protect those most at risk in our society, this is a step in the right direction.

Can you really? The article seems relatively clear that there are some problems regarding consent in this whole apparatus.
I'm torn on the article. The Canadian government isn't China and we have had quite a few pretty public cases here in Germany where lack of inter-agency coordination led to serious harm in the context of our CPS equivalent. OTOH, at least from that article, this program doesn't seem to get the oversight required for such a task.
At any rate, the lack of transparency and contractually forbidding people from talking about the program is a weird and all to common move these days.

#9Sincere question: why is that not benevolent?

Very sorry to rate you down citizen, but let me apologize for what is deemed necessary.
Although, somebody with a drug addiction and children, may benefit from a little oversighted goverment oversight.
