TPS spent months investigating a used car dealer allegedly selling stolen vehicles, laid 192 charges and then prosecutors dropped everything as there was no prospect of conviction. If you believe the guy charged, there is no prospect for conviction as the police were completely incompetent and the vehicles were never stolen, police just got confused about paperwork.

We really need grand juries here. That would save so many people from complete incompetence in blue.

 
Have to put this one under the good,they also arrested and charged his surety.
That aside tho what the hell are they doing granting bail for this mutt?
Far too often a surety doesn't take their responsibility seriously, likely because the penalties have been so rarely applied. The breach must have been ridiculously obvious.
 
During a chat with a cop on paid duty yesterday he told me of a call regarding a person in distress, armed with a kitchen knife on a bus. He was removed and released. Next day same person, different bus, same result. Third day, rinse, repeat.

Lack of process to handle mental health issues.

This highlights our useless, corrupt politicians. DoFo rants and raves about the justice system and loose bail provisions. Fact is that the whole justice system is underfunded with unfilled judge positions, too few judges for the case load and too few jail and prison cells in both provincial anf federal systems.

A huge percentage of property crime is committed by a relatively small group of people who are arrested, released and immediately go back to work stealing cars and breaking into houses. Offence one, bail until trial. Offense two, jail until trial.

I understand that trial resources are so limited that about 98% of accused people are offered and accept a deal with reduced charges. If we really want these repeat offenders in jail then we have to increase spending in Justice and get people to trial and then into jail within a reasonable time frame.
 
The OPP and TP are starting to fight back against the courts and the Province. Not only that, they refused to work with Gary the Chipmunk to confiscate firearms. Credit where credit is due.

I agree with their position.

The last paragraph is more than a little ironic. Only through a blue lens would anyone consider that cops are held accountable for their actions.

In general I support the police, I think they have a very tough job.

This said, police forces and individual police officers are rarely held accountable for mistakes they make or deliberate abuse of authority or railroading people in the justice system. The blue wall closes up to protect the system and this results in an erosion of trust and respect for law enforcement, which is unfortunate.

I agree 100 percent. Unfortunately, I see no movement at any level to resolve "laws for thee, not me" which is endemic in policing. The blue line and all those that believe in it must be purged. That restores public trust and makes the job slightly easier for the remaining good officers that were unable to do their job with honor and integrity prior to the purge.

Keep in mind that in some third world countries police are not respected. Immigrants from those countries may cause problems with police officers here.

At least those immigrants would be in the minority. Many, many canadians respect the difficulty of the job but not the officers as the system has put officers feelings and immunity in front of every single person they are sworn to protect. That's not the path to respect.
