police accused of lying in court

[sleazure]

seems like deja vu.
they beat the guy up and charged him with resisting arrest. they lied about it in court, but the video proved they were lying.
the judge threw out the charges and called them a bunch of liars.
this has happened before.
our cops are tops

The judges decision only happened yesterday, give it time andy ou don't get automatic jail for perjury, but you knew that.

A few years ago, when I lived in Peel region, the police there were deemed most corrupt in the country. Beatings and robberies of drug dealers were common, though few were reported. Sure, there are good cops, but the ones not committing crimes usually cover for the ones that do.

They should go to jail for criminal assault.

In most places in Canada or the U.S. their careers are shot - unless they are going to "fly a desk" from now on.

They should be charged and convicted for both assault and perjury. However I think the guy should still be charged. After all, he parked his badly damaged car, which had been in an accident, and tried to get a taxi home. The Cops believed he had tried to run over another constable and led police on a chase. He didn't deserve to get beat up but he did deserve to be convicted for impaired, leaving the scene of an accident etc. What if he had injured or killed someone, does he still walk?

Deemed by whom, Dudley Laws family? Obviously somebody who's never been to Quebec.

Reality, finally.

Actually it is more severe that that a trial court judge sitting in open court found that they had lied under oath.

Well said, by someone who never leaves the basement. Ever hear of Pearson International Airport? Who polices that?

As I asked deemed by whom?

Pearson has changed jurisdiction as few times over the years between Peel Region, RCMP and even joint. Today, I don't know.

I think it would depend on a nature of the allegations. If it's a contraband it'd be RCMP, but if an arriving passenger has a old warrant for arrest, he is likely to be dealt with by peel police.

It's good when the police can act like the criminals they're supposed to arrest?

Quite possibly. About 15 years ago i got a curbside parking ticket from the RCMP, but things may have changed.

He was charged... it was during the trial that the judge found the police officers to by lying.
If the police are so out to lunch that they think lying in open court is ok, contrary to video evidence then he deserves to walk.
Seriously... one officer turned his camera off to 'conserve energy'?? Really?? Cops really are stupid aren't they?

they get off so the cops beat them up

esp gangs like the hells angels which seem immune to justice by paying off cops and with their well healed lawyers


whe the system fails yes it is a good thing

wait until you are extorted by the angels or they kill a family member for a percieved insult and no one will testify out of fear then we will discuss this from a broader perspective

Oh we should all fear the big bad bikers! Seeming as this will likely never happen, you're argument of," Support the police because we're a bit better than the criminals," is quite ridiculous. Outlaw bikers are known thugs, police must take an oath, to protect the PUBLIC. Not just some people, but all. What do you think cops do with the drugs and money they steal? Pretty sure it doesn't get checked in a evidence locker. Oh, BTW, I probably should have write, "one of the most corrupt."

 

[Mr Deeds]

The reality is that this too will be swept under the rug and kept out of the public eye as much as possible. look what happened
after the g20.
