Drug searches at high schools are happening more often. Police come into schools to search for drugs and other illegal substances without the students’ knowledge. Most drug busts turn up marijuana. This has already happened in Brantford at all six of its high schools. This has some Conestoga students angry over the idea that drug searches could happen anywhere at anytime.

Commentary
— SPOKE, March 22, 2004
Stop the violence on Toronto’s streets Something has
to
be done to curb the escalating violence
being seen on Toronto’s
streets.
There have already been 1 1 homicides in the city, eight of which were gun-related. Between last September and March 9, police made 530 arrests, laid 1,476 charges and seized 124 firearms as part of an initiative announced
last
summer
called the street
violence task force.
Last year, Toronto police recorded 326 reported shootings, an increase of 53 per cent. All but two of the 31 homicides involving guns are believed to be gang-related,
according to a March 10 Globe and Mail article. According to Toronto police, 84 per cent of people arrest-
ed for gun-related offences are career criminals. Also, a number of police “house call” checks on those charged with gun crimes and granted bail have found that almost half were violating their bail conditions. Numbers like these cannot be ignored. These so-called career criminals need to be locked away
and not allowed access to guns. The Ontario government is trying to help by persuading judges to hand out harsher sentences for criminals using guns.
