UPDATED: CANADIAN POLICE RAID BITTORRENT TRACKER, CONFISCATE SERVER
BY ANDY ON MAY 14, 2014 C: 41
In somewhat of a surprise move, Canadian police have raided a local torrent site and confiscated its server.
With around 10,000 members, Spavar.org was a relatively small site.
However, any police action against a Canada-based site is likely to cause wider concern since the country is home to countless torrent sites, from the very small to the very large.

This week it was revealed that following a request from a Swedish anti-piracy group, police action was taken against a torrent site hosted on Canadian soil.
The general understanding is that torrent sites are currently legal in Canada, so how does a situation like this come to pass?
