Anyone see such a law? How the hell are police or the Harper government

Mounties charge Alberta teenager with attempting to travel for terrorism
EDMONTON - Court documents allege an Alberta teen charged with terror-related
offences wanted to travel overseas to fight with Islamic State militants.
The 17-year-old boy was taken into custody Thursday in Beaumont, a bedroom
community south of Edmonton.
RCMP have laid two charges: one of attempting to leave the country to
participate in a terrorist group and another of attempting to leave the country
to commit a terrorist activity, "namely murder."
Court documents say the alleged offences involve the Islamic State in Iraq and
the Levant and are to have taken place on or about March 8 at or near Beaumont,
Edmonton, Calgary "and elsewhere."
The teen cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
He was denied bail Thursday by a justice of the peace, who cited safety and
protection of the public.
The teen is to appear in youth court April 9.
RCMP spokesman Sgt. Harold Pfleiderer said the force's Integrated National
Security Enforcement Team handled the arrest. The team was established last
year to streamline the collection, sharing and analysis of intelligence on
potential threats to national security.
He would not provide more details about the investigation.
"While it may be difficult for parents to come forward to the police, it is
important for families and communities to contact police as soon as they
suspect that an individual is being radicalized," said Pfleiderer.
Several Canadian young people have already travelled to the Middle East to
fight for the Islamic State. Ottawa's national security report said at the
start of 2014 that more than 130 individuals were abroad and suspected of
terror-related activities.
In September, the Canadian Somali Congress of Western Canada wrote to Prime
Minister Stephen Harper warning that young people in Alberta were being
recruited to join ISIL.
Jeremy Laurin, press secretary for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney, said
the case is a reminder of why the government's proposed anti-terror legislation
is needed.
Bill C-51, introduced in January, would give police broader powers and allow
them to detain terror suspects and give new powers to Canada's spy agency.
Opposition parties have criticized the bill for being too broad and vague and
point out that there are already some powers in place that Canada's security
agencies aren't using.

jeopardy where Canadians are subject to both Canadian and any host country's laws.
Notably we did not have such laws during the Spannish Civil War.
