The Canadian Association of Journalists opposes the Edmonton Police Service's attempt to seize a reporter's research into a high-profile murder case. "Journalists are not agents of the state, and police should not be depending on them to provide the information needed for criminal investigations," CAJ president Paul Schneidereit says in a press release.
