What ever happened to Sgt. Dennis Mahoney-Bruer?

[CruisnGrrl]

My google searches don't bring up anything past 2009, almost like he's a bug under a rug.

[Rob MacLennan]

I haven't been able to find out a thing, about the case. For all that I know, it's still pending.

It would be nice to get this back into the media as the same issues of too much power without checks and balances is still present. With it coming out that the SIU essentially has no teeth or police don't have to listen to them it makes the issue of "Who polices the Police" a much more important one.

[Rob MacLennan]

I sent out an email, but doubt that anything will come of it in the media.

The only information that I turned up in my search, was that he seems to own a restaurant in Toronto.

Wat did this guy do?

Wat did this guy do?

This is the occifer who was on the TV news hyping up enforcement of HTA 172 ... and was later alleged to be falsifying evidence and acting in collusion with a local towing company to drum up business. Supposedly more than 200 "stunt driving" charges were to be thrown out because of this, and there was a story going that the OPP would be reimbursing the expenses of those drivers ... and then the whole thing dropped out of sight, and I haven't heard a thing since, neither about the officer in question nor about what actually happened with the towing and legal expenses of all of his victims.

Are you sure it's not an impound lot?

[GP_RZ]

if we are lucky maybe he's dead! I just have no use for scum bags that abuse their powers! I am sure part of the $1300 cash that i paid to get my bike out of impund went to the Caledon opp officer.

What's the name of the restaraunt? I will pop down for dinner, stuff a dead cockroach in my mashed tates and sue him. See how HE likes being set up. Low life p.o.s.

Let's hope it's good practice for working in the correctional facility kitchen

If you're involved in this, I hope you aren't letting this fall by the wayside. The last thing you want is to end up in a bureaucratic pile of forgotten paper somewhere. Keep the calls up, pester people, etc. If you annoy them enough they'll do something about it.

[FiReSTaRT]

I doubt it. Our legal system is geared toward avoiding prosecution of public official corruption and when they are prosecuted to do everything possible not to allow a conviction and in those rare cases where someone does get convicted, the penalty amounts to a slap on the wrist. Remember that our legal system is managed by people who have everything to gain from corruption.

Sgt. Dennis Mahoney-Bruer owns a restaraunt in Hamilton called Stonewalls on York Street www.stonewallshamilton.com
He is just as arrogant as he was as a cop. Were did he get all that money to buy this building and then renovate it for about $700,000.00?

Any updates on his charges or convictions would be appreciated.

Dennis the menace at your service --- NOT!

That's a stale article. Still nothing on the court proceedings or verdict?

Sorry, nothing so far.
