Hey guys
A friend of mine sent me this link.....thought you might be intrested....I thought the last paragraph was intresting. I would assume they are hoping for a supreme court win and then they could add more charges as I think they also have charges against them for EX I did'nt edit out the names, as it is in a public newspaper, and the names are no secret. Mods, if they should be removed anyway let me know and i'll do it right away......

RCMP receive extension to hold seized items
By Steve MacInnis
An application by the RCMP to extend the detention period of items seized as part of their investigation into alleged pirating of satellite television signals was granted Friday in Sydney.
Barry MacDonald, a justice of the peace, approved the application which grants the Mounties an additional three months to hold the items while they continue their investigation.
The application only relates to items seized in one of three raids by the RCMP last October which led to three men facing charges under the Criminal Code and the Radiocommunication Act.
Two of the accused are scheduled to stand trial May 16 and June 25 while the third, Basil (Billy) Chronis, Marconi Street, Glace Bay, is scheduled to enter a plea to the charges Feb. 27.
The charges stem from a nine-month RCMP investigation.
In granting the application, the Mounties must either return the items by April 25 to the rightful owner, charge Chronis with another offence which seals the items as evidence or make another application for further detention.
The items in question are a large number of American smart cards. The credit card size device is necessary in order for the satellite receiver to register the broadcasting signal.
