What I am telling you is, that should you get selected, it will be drilled into you that you are a "peace officer as defined within sect 2(g)(i) of the criminal code of Canada....
Its on your first week test.... and its in your WO inspection... and your Dep Commanders inspection..... and no matter what you feel, the National Defense Act is more important as it defines MP as a service person that can arrest or detain without warrant... blah blah blah......
But seriously, in most provinces you are not recognized under their police acts.... however, the CCC designates you as a peace officer under that definition. That is part of the reason on some bases you can issue provincial tickets, and othhers, only Government Property Traffic Reg tickets..... some you can issue Administrative Driving Probhibitions, and some, outside agencies have to come and issue them.
