What laws? Cite them. We recently paid out a multi-million dollar settlement to the Japanese Canadians for doing just that when we interred them for years without chargeor trial during WWII; this was an admission that even though we were at war with Japan we had no right to detain these people indefinitely without trial. In fact, the Canadian Criminal code (if you've ever seen it) lays out very clear and unambiguous rules that have to be followed regarding arrest and detention; then there is the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as well which states very clearly that:
I.9 Everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.
I.10 Everyone has the right on arrest or detention
a) to be informed promptly of the reasons therefor;
b) to retain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right; and
c) to have the validity of the detention determined by way of
habeas corpus and to be released if the detention is not lawful.
