Interesting case. Seems foolish to risk your well paying job, your integrity ect. with such foolishness. Will be interesting to see what the outcome ends up being.
Im pretty sure all secondary employment has to be approved prior to taking on a second job. It is against policy to do so without permission, and could result in additional charges. More then likely had the restaurant approval prior to the suspension and investigation, which is why he has continued to do so.
A friend of mine has a cop buddy that got suspended with pay. He was required to sign in at the cop station, 2 times per day. Hardened criminals don't sign in every day, let alone twice daily. Is that the kind of "tougher on cops" you are referring to...
Its hard to say whether this will be a closed court room. His defence will want this, however the crown will urge transparency. My guess it will be closed, judges seem to grant this all to often.
