Written by Bob Tarantino. Published by Dundurn Press, 2007. Description: |
| Did you know that Canada’s Criminal Code still has
provisions outlawing the practice of witchcraft and "crafty sciences"? Did you
know that blasphemy is a crime in Canada? And did you know that putting a
picture of a red poppy on your website could get you into trouble with the
Royal Canadian Legion? Lawyer and author Bob Tarantino takes the reader on an
entertaining and informative romp through Canada’s legal labyrinths in
Under Arrest: Canadian Laws You Won’t Believe. The author examines odd statutes and arcane jurisprudence across the whole spectrum of Canadian endeavour from war and religion to sex and culture to politics and business. Frequently, Tarantino demonstrates the parallels between yesterday’s prohibitions and today’s trends such as the edict against duelling and the legalities of twenty-first-century hockey slugfests, or the confiscation of so-called "crime comics" in the 1950s and the controversy surrounding violence in contemporary video games. Bob Tarantino is a Toronto lawyer and author who regularly publishes academic articles relating to intellectual property and entertainment law and frequently appears on radio and television as a commentator on legal issues. Under Arrest spotlights Canada’s past and present quirky, strange, but true laws and legal history. |
