Yeah, something to do with their pensions. I think someone eventually beat some sort of traffic charge by raising a reasonable doubt on the grounds they weren’t confident they were being pulled over by a real police officer.

Definitely a labour dispute. I don’t know the details but I think the union was demanding something and since they couldn’t strike, they started wearing camo pants in protest. When that didn’t work, I think the union escalated into clown territory.

That's a common contract negotiation protest tactic with the SPVM. Our union does something similar, but it's pretty much limited to union provided coloured slip-ons, union logo ball caps and coloured boot laces.

In Montréal it prompts the public to start asking questions which then puts pressure on the SPVM management and city hall to "get on with it". Federally, the Public Service Labour and Employment Relations Board has ruled that the employer cannot discipline member for wearing union swag on the job during contract negotiations.

You don't have to dress like a clown.

Metro Police went on a slow down , didn't write tickets, strictly adhered to safety procedures and requested backup for minor calls etc over two officer cars.

Emergency Services follow the HTA. Refuse voluntary OT, etc when "Working the Rules."

May I please refer you to the 47,000 pages in various threads concerning badges, buttons, chevrons, DEU’s, ball caps, woollies, raspberry berets, nail polish and face paint.

I just think it makes their Union look childish and unserious... but what do I know. Are they disciplined police force, or a bunch of clowns?

Just stay away from white

That's actually hilarious... "your honour, I didn't know it was the police, I thought it was a circus act!"

Yes, it just makes them look unprofessional like they have no pride or respect for the uniform.

Alternatively you can argue that the government has no respect for them by failing to reach a contract agreement.

Whats the alternative just waiting forever? This puts pressure on the government to actually negotiate.

Slow down . Follow the HTA. Don't write tickets. Strictly adhere to safety procedures. Request backup or lift assist on all calls Refuse OT.

This puts pressure on the government to actually negotiate.

Yes, it does.

And you respect the uniform and grooming standards.

So punish the public (as ultimately not enforcing the law/trying to become a hassle) as opposed to not punishing the public but looking silly for a little bit? Seems to me one respects the job much more than the other.
