" He made his decision. We will work with that decision in the future." A key part of Judge Latimer‘s ruling dealt with a Criminal Code amendment last August which requires the police to obtain a warâ€" rant from a judge before installing cameras. The judge‘s decision should not prohibit the police from using a video camera to monitor homosexâ€" ual activity in the future, said Waller, it just means they will have to obtain a warrant from a judge beforehand. complaints from the public Although the Shell park video cameras were installed prior to the amendment, Judge Latimer deemed the police should have known the law was about to be changed. Waller said the police were folâ€" lowing the guidelines established by the Ontario Provincial Police when the cameras were installed. While homosexual activity in the public washroom died down after police laid charges against 46 men last year, Waller said they still receive periodic complaints of "suspicious activity" in the park. (Continued from page 1) Waller said the police are obtainâ€" ing a transcript of Judge Latimer‘s decision and will review it with the Halton Crown Attorney‘s office. The Town of Oakville will also be obtaining transcripts of the Judge Latimer‘s decision and will be seeking a report from their legal staff, said Mayor Ann Mulvale. He said the problem usually increases in the summer months. The mayor stressed the town is not out to persecute anyone, but it must also ensure the public can enjoy the park without seeing anyâ€" thing inappropriate. Mulvale said the town originally sought police intervention after receiving numerous complaints from parents with children in day camp and soccer programs in the we are legislating ourselves to death." ‘In many respects Railph Robinson park. The mayor said the video camâ€" eras were installed with the full support of the town. "They worked well to deter that type of activity which was not just limited to the washroom," said Mulvale. Of the 46 men charged, more than half have already pleaded guilty and received fines from $200 to $600. Six men are still awaiting trial. They are set to appear in court July 19th to set a trial date. "We are not making judgments about people‘s conduct in their homes or in a hotel room," said Mulvale. Ward 1 councillor Ralph Robinson, who was acting mayor when police approached the town for permission to install the camâ€" eras last year was particularly upset over the judge‘s ruling. One of the accused committed suicide by jumping off a bridge. When it was revealed he had AIDS, debate arose whether the spouses of the accused should be notified by the police or members of the regional health department. * "I think the judge was wrong,‘ said Robinson. "The legislation for the requirement of a warrant was not in place at the time the police did what they did." Robinson said it is another example of the justice system proâ€" tecting the rights of the accused at the expense of the rights of the pubâ€" lic. "In many respects we are legisâ€" lating ourselves to death," he said. "We know what we wanted to hapâ€" pen there and it did happen. And now the judge has ruled it‘s unconâ€" stitutional. It is unfortunate." Ward 1 councillor Kevin Flynn said when the town first received complaints from parents with chilâ€" dren in the day camp program, the initial reaction was to move the programs to another park. But after meeting with the parâ€" ents, Flynn said it was clear they did not want to give up their park. "I don‘t want the police to be doing anything unconstitutional," said Flynn, "but at the same time I think the overwhelming feeling of the population is that they shouldn‘t be doing this in a public park." Without the videotape evidence, however, the police experienced difficulties obtaining courtroom convictions. Last year‘s charges were not the first time police had laid indecent act charges against men frequenting Shell Park and other public washâ€" rooms in town. When news of the 46 arrests was released last year, it created a conâ€" troversy throughout town and across of southern Ontario. Much of the debate centered on whether the names of the accused should be released. Most media, including the Oakville Beaver, did not release the names. people‘s conduct in their homes or in a hotel ‘We are not making judgments Ann Mulvale
