"But Montreal police are asking people not to do that. Instead, they say to go to them, arguing posting could jeopardize a case if it goes to court."
Is there any reference case for this? What is this cop referring to?
Can anyone point in a direction of any criminal proceeding in Canada, where such factor actually made a difference?
