Banks, sort of
I understand the argument. I don't think it withstands scrutiny when we are paying thousands of suspended officers. The vast majority could be fired today with no danger of losing a civil suit. They are dumb criminals that leave a trail of evidence and are only protected because they are part of the largest organized crime network in the country.
One massive problem is the Peter Principle where a person is promoted to the position of their maximum incompetence.
The biggest issue with the payouts is dirty officers having their lawyers use delaying tactics, to try and ride it out until their pensions kick in, while simultaneously demanding a "speedy trial" of The Crown.

As usual, expect no consequences for government employees, supervisors, etc that completely tanked the case. 2001 court case governs procedure, cbsa hadn't bothered to update policies to comply 22 years later and has now updated written policy but not training. Failing upward at every turn.CBSA reviewing policies after judge tosses $13.2M cocaine smuggling case
The trucker was accused of smuggling over $10 million of cocaine across the Ambassador Bridge in 2023 and was set to go on trial in June.
To deflect attention from this fiasco the Liberal party is funding a $12 Billion lolly-pop festival in Trout Creek. Thinking of the children of course. Sarcasm font.
A friend of mine did that same job for a private company at a stable in Alabama. It was connected to a teen ranch for "troubled kids" that also had a section where teens were remanded by the courts. The job entails a hell of a lot more than just that, but she got paid a hell of a lot less. Typical of American "mental health care."
Why can't the police officers brush and tend to their rides when they aren't actually riding? So far, it's been working for WestJet.

Unfortunately, with the way that our laws regarding gun safety are stated, that's likely the best outcome that could be expected. It's the same logic that resulted in a cop being convicted of Attempted Murder for shooting a corpse.Home invaders break into a home.. corral the family in the basement.. shoot the son. Dad takes a gun from one of the intruders.. and shoots at them… chases them out of the house and continues to shoot at them as they drive off. He’s cleared of everything inside the home, but gets convicted for taking the shots outside the home. His sentence is pretty minor.. the crown tries to appeal for more time.. appeal denied.

Show me a normal citizen that was driving around drunk with a loaded gun that avoided jail and a firearm ban. Sentences can be personalized but this one was so far from typical that it deserves to be overturned by a higher court for bringing justice to disrepute. Now, it won't happen as prosecutors were ordered to protect the cop and the defense attorney is sure as hell not going to raise that appeal.
I`m thinking being seriously wealthy would help.
Show me a normal Canadian citizen driving around with a firearm on their hip*, and I'll show you a unicorn.
