In a move that has legal experts calling foul, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries published a list of people charged, but not convicted, of committing a crime at various Liquor Marts in the province.
The main issue taken with the list is that some, or many, of those on the list could be innocent. The list also fails to mention the crime(s) committed.
According to a police officer in Winnipeg, the names of people accused of crimes are routinely given to retailers, which includes Liquor Marts. Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries says the list is part of enhanced efforts to reduce theft at their stores.
