jacee Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 I was listening to ABC (US) news. Their report is that Canadian police failed to file paperwork to stop sex offender Michael Stanley at the border, after he cut off his electronic anklet in Edmonton. They said Canadian police tell them it will take months now to get the paperwork for an arrest in the US. The Canadian press isn't quite reporting it that way: http://www.vancouversun.com/touch/story.html?id=9022825 There's a Canada-wide warrant, but why didn't police address the border issue? A known and repeated violent sex offender, now loose in the US with no arrest warrant. Way to go Canada cops! Quote
Guest Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 One would think the Americans would arrest him anyway, if they can. Keep him until the paperwork comes through. Quote
Wilber Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 Something not quite right here. He was only missing for a week, so how would they get paperwork that supposedly take months done before he turned up in the US? He is a US citizen who is not wanted for anything in the US. Seems to me that even if the Americans arrested him at the border, we would still have to go through the extradition process. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC

Until his next victims surface, I guess. Quote
Guest American Woman Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) You'd think Canada would be glad to be rid of him; I'm sure not giving him a welcome back to the U.S. Unless/until he gets extradited, he's our problem; but if Canada wants him to finish the sentencing process for the crimes he committed in Canada, I'm sure the government will be filing for extradition.

The_Squid Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 He has a long history of violent offences. Why didn't we deport him a long time ago? Or maybe we did and he came back? Seems like a role model for deportation. Quote
Bonam Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 He has a long history of violent offences. Why didn't we deport him a long time ago? Or maybe we did and he came back? Seems like a role model for deportation. Does Canada ever actually deport anyone? Quote
Guest American Woman Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 Does Canada ever actually deport anyone? From what I've read, Canada wants him back. Does anyone know if he has dual citizenship - or just American citizenship? I would wager that Canada has deported non-citizens. Quote
