There must be something in the water at Durham.
Should your custodial facility holding evidence have sprinklers? What's the worst that could happen? Destroying evidence from hundreds of cases?

Durham police were warned of ‘catastrophic’ losses ahead of fire that destroyed evidence, cost cases
For years, Durham Regional Police had known about the risk of “catastrophic losses” in the event of a fire at the Courtice Court storage warehouse.

I worked well with DRPS but they seem to endure a parade of weird command decisions.

OPS detective found guilty of discreditable conduct in unauthorized investigations.
Since it's Ottawa, I assume the sanction if any will be trivial, because it's impossible to fire such an unfit individual from the Ottawa police.

Good finding; she’s a disgrace. I share your pessimism about sanctions.

Meanwhile, in Florida...
A woman is suing the city of Holly Hill alleging the former police chief and others in the department of engaging in “routine and predatory acts in the workplace towards women for years,” according to court documents.
The suit states that Holly Hill Police Chief Jeffrey Miller and Capt. Christopher Yates “began a campaign of relentless sexual harassment, assault, and battery.”
News 6 reported in March, 2024, that Miller resigned from his role amid an investigation into the police department after allegations about “inappropriate incidents” came up.
A month later, another Holly Hill police officer was suspended amid the investigation. Sgt. Tom Bently was placed on paid leave in accordance with the police officer’s bill of rights. Bently’s leave follows the suspension of Yates and Sgt. Shannon Fountain, also part of the same investigation.
In June, 2024, Holly Hill city officials announced they hired Byron K. Williams as their new police chief, days after a monthslong investigation conducted by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office into the department concluded.
The city handed the investigation over to the sheriff’s office in March so it would be impartial.

OPS must be a fun place. I wonder if RFK Jr. has an opening.

As much as people may believe to the contrary, there is nothing in the Elections Act that regulates the destruction, defacing or removal of election signs. That's a criminal matter.

I read on another site that nearby Liberal signs positioned in a similar manner were left untouched. I really hope that's not true.

This may not be the right thread...
The RCMP installed spyware on the phones of the head of the RCMP union (NFP) due to his connection to an individual under investigation.
Lawyers are going to buy new sports cars based on this case...

So, I don’t know the facts of this case specifically, but generally for an ODIT or wiretap (effectively the same legal provisions apply, just through a different type of warrant), if the very high threshold for actually getting an intercept is met, the actual device or lines that can be intercepted don’t have to be those of the named targets, so long as they’re lines/devices on which it’s expected that a target’s communications will be intercepted in such a way that they will assist the investigation.
These are heavy, heavy warrants to get, plus this is on a national security file so there’s even more oversight still.
Setting up an intercept monitoring system for a phone that will definitely incidentally capture the inner workings of your employees’ own union has got to be an absolute privilege nightmare. Sucks to be the disclosure guy or gal on this one.

Naughty Doctor-Constable...
According to documents released in advance of the hearing, McConnell — a 33-year veteran who at one time presided over the VPD's gang squad — is accused of sending sexual messages through text and social media to three female police officers between 2015 and 2019.
McConnell — who holds a doctorate from London Metropolitan University — is also accused of sending inappropriate messages to three students at Royal Roads University and one student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, two of the many post-secondary institutions where he taught.
One of the students ultimately "changed her mind about becoming a police officer, which she attributed to her experience with Sergeant McConnell," according to the notice the OPCC issued last summer to announce the hearing.
