And they deserve to have the book thrown at them if that's the case.
Probably none. Convictions of police officers for criminal acts while on the job make a huge mess. Everyone involved wants to make sure that doesn't happen. The chance of any getting convicted on a serious charge is very close to zero.
I would say "far more than should be." When Dennis Mahoney-Bruer was charged a lot of his stunt driving charges went away, as well. And he wasn't even convicted.
That's not what unions are for. They're your advocates, until such time as charges are proved.
In the US, every non citizen is required to keep id and present it on demand to any immigration officer, anywhere providing the officer has reasonable suspicion - 8 U.S.C. § 1304(e). If they can’t produce id, the penalty is minor - BUT- if you refuse to produce id then ice can hold you while they determine your id and immigration status.
Opp had a similar challenge corrupt cops and the towing industry. Opp dealt with the issue themselves, quietly and with stealth, the way you would expect police to deal with internal corruption.
That's a start. Now he needs to stop talking about swift action. He has at least two investigations a year old (cops committing perjury and cops beating civilians without identifying themselves or providing a valid reason) that he has left stalled in the hopes that they are forgotten.
Because the primary lever they pull to justify the cost per employee is danger. In the real world, given their education, IQ and abilities, cops should probably make $60-75K and have an employer paid $1M life insurance policy. Instead we pay them all >$100K even though they barely make the top 10 of dangerous jobs.
Probably has to do with the temperature that they keep the cop shop at.
I was working on the garage entrance of the American embassy in Ottawa and they were bomb checking every car when it went in, as usual. The driver of one, an American, says how lucky Canadians were. I asked why and he replied "I could get picked off sitting here."
Because it says POLICE in giant letters? Does it say OBEY on the back?
I doubt anything will ever come of this.Yesterday I heard either the head of the police union or ex-chief Saunders, not sure which, mention that some cops are pulling in 200 to 300 grand with O/T if the want to do the work. Holy shite, is that even possible? It`s been info overload.
Average is deep into 100K. I'm not at all surprised that 200+ is attainable.
