VANCOUVER A prominent criminal defence lawyer and the director of policy for the B.C. Civil Liberties Association are raising questions about a decision by the Vancouver Police Department to release the names and pictures of alleged gang members. The VPD released the information about its “Top Six” alleged gangsters on Monday, saying the men listed could be targets for violence that could put members of the public in the crosshairs. The public warning – which was echoed Tuesday by B.C.’s integrated anti-gang police agency with its own list of 11 that included some overlap – follows an escalation in fatal gang-involved shootings across Metro Vancouver, many of them in public places.
