Like many active sports, shooting has the potential to cause personal injury.

That's because it's very difficult for a common citizen to have the evidence necessary for proving his/her innocence.. In any case, Charter motions go before the plea. Speaking of which, I'll have to get around to getting a video setup for both the car and the bike. Would have made at least one cop look like a lyin' piece of scum that he was/is

I find this the most ironic part (maybe irony is the wrong word). That this entire thing revolves around a law that allows you to be punished and damages paid pre-trial with no recourse once proven not guilty. Yet the officer involved collects pay until proven guilty and even will get full salary during the appeals process which he could drag on for years.
I think there is a growing minority (hopefully someday a majority) that want to see a change to the way officer pay is handled when on trial for illegal activity.

RCMP officer named Turcotte, who was ordered to pay back 5 days' pay, during a suspension resulting from an assault charge? He was finally convicted, last year, for an off-duty assault that occurred in 2007.

There should be a system that is more fair under those circumstances.. Let's say a cop is charged with a criminal offense and put on suspension.. Their pay should go into an escrow. If found not guilty, they get all of it upon verdict and if found guilty, it goes back to us (the taxpayers). Typically, a cop charged with a criminal offense is able to work elsewhere, while on suspension and their union is big enough to provide employment assistance.

And such an officer should lose his car and home, because all the money that he should be getting is in escrow, instead of his account, potentially on the lies of a citizen? I wouldn't stand for that, for a police officer, any more than I would stand for it, for a regular citizen. He shouldn't have to "work elsewhere." Innocent until proved guilty.

You are making some good points Rob. However, it's not like the constable in question is unable to work while waiting for trial. Therefore, he can find other sorts of work and the union can also set up a fund to keep them afloat in such eventualities. If a bank employee got charged with financial improprieties, chances are they wouldn't get suspended with pay.
Making that money repayable under conviction is most likely a viable solution as long as there are safeguards against sheltering.

No, if a bank employee was caught that person would be given the opportunity to resign, rather than being put through the wringer, but would likely ultimately be parcelled out.
Police are in a unique position, in our society; they 'protect and serve.' They are simultaneously our employees, and our keepers. We should stand behind them, as such, giving them every benefit of the doubt. If found guilty of abusing their position, however, they should be held to a higher standard than are other citizens. You can't have the latter, without the former.

Still a bitter pill to swallow... To give a criminal $200,000 for doing nothing while waiting to get convicted.
