Edmonton.I wear a cowboy hat sometimes...
THE CANUCK EDITION....I have seen NBC''s Version but not W5's.One thing I did find disturbing was that Lloyd Robertson stated that the Police were invited to be part of the investigation but declined.Kinda suprised to hear that.Is there possibly something in Canadain law that would have hampered a conviction by setting this type of thing up?http://youtube.com/watch?v=IJu5tJgNxnQ
 
I remember actually watching it when it aired. I believe the reason why the Police declined was they do there own type of "sting" operation.

Just guessing - If there was a jury trial, and if this had aired, I'm assuming a defense lawyer could say his clients were prejudiced in some sort of way. Also, W5 is a national program, so it's not like they could move a trial to another city or something (and I don't even know if this could happen in Canada).

Dateline did it without the cops for a long time, it was only until they proved it was a success before the cops came aboard. Alot of legal stuff to worry about.
 
When John Walsh started " Americas Most Wanted" the cops wanted nothing to do with him. Once they put the doughnuts down and realized that the public were on side they joined the bandwagon.

maybe the cops just realized that W5,s show was more about ratings than public service
