ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 8th, 1968 Alex Carruthers, M.P.P., Durham Wire Tapping: The days of the multi-party rural telephone system are draw- ing to a close but one of the feat- ures of tha t system, listening in, sparked a prolonged debate in the Ontario Legîsiature last week, on the complicated subjeet of wire tapping. Wbereas r ural telepbote listen- ing was in the majority of cases an ihnocent, and in man.y instanc- es, a helpful form of commuticat- ing information, wire tapping witb modemn electronic devices, bas its sinister aspects. Its use by organ- ized crime, wbose leaders must be free from any written evidence that they miglit otberwise be party to, atd that miglit eonvict tbem bas placed law enforcement agencies et a great disadvantage. Opposition speakers were criti- cal of tbe use by the police of wîre tapping devîces of the type whicb led to the suspension very recently of two Toronto mnagis- trates. Altbough the telepbýones of of the two magistrates were biot tapped, apparently that -of a tbird party was 'and resulted in botb magistrates being advised by the Attorney Getnerai not to take any more Court cases uiltil the bear- ing on certain circumstances in- volving tbem was completed. Mr. James Renwick (N.D.P. Riverdale) in outliniiig bis Party's position, stated that until sucli time" as the federal government amiended tbe Criminal Code in this - respect, tbe Ontario govern- meit .sbould pass somne kind of law that will probibit the use of electronie devices for invasions of the privacy of communication be- tween individuals. Mr. Renwick conceded that ex- ceptions would bave to lie made i favour of tbe police and the police alone, and not any -other commis- sion or instrument of tbe govern- ment. The member aaded tbat use by tbe police sboulId offly be by consent of the Attorney General who is answerable to people througb the Legislature. The criteria by wbhi permis- sion would be granted was admit- ted to ho difficuit to'define. The question arose as to whetber it should be confined ohly t'G antici- pation of crimes or to crimes wbicb bave already been commit- ted or to organized crime in areas wbich are considered to be of ser- ious concern to the public. It was, býowever, tbe copsensus of opinion that tbe use of such devices sbould lie strictly con- trolled with permission granted oùnly by a Supreme Court Judge or the Attorney General. The Ho4ourable Artbur Wish- art, the Attorney General, in de- fining bis Dtpartment's position on tbe matter emphasized the fol. lowig points: (1) The foundation of'our sys- temn of justice is based on the principie of ýequity and fair play and tbe perversion of these prin- ciples tbrougb electronic, devîces that eavesdrop upon conversa- tionis naturally creates a feeling, of dislike for sucli practice in the mindsof reasonable people. (2) An invasion of our privacy is a violation of our personal in- tegrity and this no man can ac- cept lightiy. Wbule agreeing witb the princi- pie of preservation of privacy, the Attorney General, bowever, also pointed ýout- that an important task rests on the law enforcement agencies of the country. One must lie conscious, lie said, tbat elect- ronîc surveillance is absolutely es- sential for law enforcemeht, par- ticularly as it appiies to organized, crime. The report of the President's Commission on law enforcement in the United States coitfirms thî fact that it is the only sure metb- od of app)rebendine the topD crim- 0MB Hearing (Continued from page 1) con-sidering the water manage- ment report. Mr, MeMullen also pointed out' that the Wilmot Creek would be preserved and that when sewage disposai did corne to Orono it should be on a vegIonal basis with Newcastle and other immediate areas with dis- posai plant near the Lake and ef- fluent being run into Lake On- tario. H1e also said that the OWRC made checks of o'utf al from storm sewers. Mr. A. McLaren spoke in fav- our of the project stating that from informiatioln given it would not increase the tax rate and that it was definitely an improve- ment for the Village. The chair- man of the Board asked if he îýroject if it substantially in- would stililibe in favour of the would be available to the law en- forcement agencies under the authorization of the Court.

Mr. Lovekin, in summing up, said that the people in Orono did 'want better foads and it was bis belief that the answer rested in the professional evidence placed before the Board. (No need of saiitary sewers . . . a need for storm sewers). The chairman asked Mr. Lovekin sii2ce the life of the roads was estimated at twenty years then why take five years to pas' it off.
