Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

[Haggis]

@Halifax Tar and @Eaglelord17 I keep a copy of that document along with a copy of every registration certificate for all my handguns, whether they are with me or not (so I don't forget one) in my range bag. I also carry a spare trigger lock in case one fails or I lose it.

As if our own firearms laws weren't complex enough I also have to deal with in-house policies such as Departmental Memos (D-Memos) and there is one on importing and exporting firearms and other weapons.

Back on topic, though, in my experience conservation officers/game wardens and BSOs to be the best educated on firearms laws as they tend to have the most interactions with lawful firearms owners. Street cops tend to deal with the unlawful ones more often.

I have to agree here. I've dealt with our COs a few times and they have always been personable and reasonable folks.

More often I find they are interested in the firearm(s) and can and want to talk guns/shooting/hunting.

Old man ramble alert...

Years ago my FIL and I went hunting in a blizzard. We took my F150 4x4 back to the stands for the morning watch. Later that morning on the way out of the woods we happened upon some COs in their F250 coming in the woods. We stopped, rolled down the windows and they came alongside. I asked if they wanted to see the guns or our tags and they laughed and said no, they wanted to meet the fools who were hunting in this weather as they were following our tracks. Then they asked if they could follow us out as they didn't have a 4x4 truck.

We all laughed and I waited for them to fall in behind me and I lead them out with a wave at the end.

If Donovan is still working would he have to include the perjury charges in a McNeil report since he did lie about it even though it was dropped? Because it speaks to credibility?

Not according to MacNeil but departmental policy may expand on it.

Every firearms owner should be carrying a copy of that. I've carried a copy for at least 10 years.

How much did York Police pay for officers suspended for misconduct over the same time period?

 

[Jarnhamar]

Calgary police treating police files like Tinder.

3 Calgary police officers accused of sexual misconduct involving 7 women​

Looks like all of them were suspended without pay. One abandoned ship.

And then there's Montreal:

A Montreal police (SPVM) officer inadvertently showed explicit images related to a sexual assault investigation to a group of Grade 10 students at a West Island High School on Wednesday.

Poor judgement by the detective but the school seems to be really playing it up.

Nobody in that photo makes 72 grand. I suspect it’s 2.5 that for most of them there

Suspensions with pay are legislated costs. This was discretionary.

Both are misuses of public funds. One does not justify or lessen the other.

I think the message was that the police spent $72k of public funds on a drag show...

That's not the way I read it.

I can't get good enough resolution the see rank but they are all 'white shirts' so at least S/Sgts., so starting at about $155K.

Yeesh. Save the drag shows for kindergarten.

Keep this with you.

You're lucky you got away with just some lost time. I find these people get rather touchy and angry when they are wrong.

Wait, so you can leave an unrestricted rifle in your trunk while you go into Sobeys, without a trigger guard or cable, so long as it's unloaded? How far away does the ammo have to be? Can it be in the trunk with it?

Also, for gun safes and cases, are keyed locks allowed, and is so, is the key required to be a certain distance away/ under poscon at all times, or can the key be hanging from a hook right next to the safe?

I thought you went to Chiefs because you're a Swiftie.
