The journalist in question, Edmonton newspaper columnist Kerry Diotte, wasn't suspected of involvement in any crime. But Diotte had written a column criticizing the police force's radar and camera technology as being more of a cash cow for the force than an effective measure against road fatalities, and the story enraged the local constabulary.
Diotte has been a consistent critic of the police's technology d... (more)

Teaching about relationships should start earlier in life, in an effort to reduce the UK's high teenage pregnancy rate, he added.
And this had to be more than watching a "grainy film" in a biology lesson.
Professor Webb said more research was needed on teenagers' "changing attitudes" to sex.
