is Cam Woolley the ring leader?

And maybe Peter Brauti could form a whole new hockey team with this lot….

is Cam Woolley the ring leader?

He's the "Canada's Worst Driver" TV show guy. Are you possibly thinking of Kerry Schmidt from "Heavy Rescue 401"?

Presser from York Regional Police at 10am eastern today, we should get more detail then. TorStar is reporting this morning that the ‘more than 30 arrested’ is total arrests, not specifically police, which makes sense. Different outlets are reporting 7 versus 9 officers charged, maybe it’s 7 TPS and two others or something. I’m super interested to learn more about this investigation. This kind of complex anti corruption investigation and prosecution had to have been super resource intensive while also needing to be highly covert.

Hopefully it was simply time to wrap up and make arrests, and the takedown day wasn’t hurried due to some imminent safety threat.

Robert Semenchuck used internal police database to pursue intimate relationships with vulnerable women (link)

According to court documents, Semenchuck improperly accessed a police database for over a decade starting in 2011, and multiple audits confirmed “an alarming number” of women were “searched without a work reason.”

Well, at least like the rat bastard's they are, they will turn on each other with ferocity....

Well, at least like the rat bastard's they are, they will turn on each other with ferocity....

That is going to make quite the prison experience for them, given the allegations.

Hated by the criminals, because police. Check.

Hated by the guards because they endangered prison staff. Check and mate….

Oh hey that was the Frank the Tank post from a few weeks back.

Former Toronto Police constable charged in illegal gambling probe


A former longtime Toronto Police Service (TPS) officer faces multiple charges related to his alleged involvement in an illegal gambling ring with ties to organized crime.

York Regional Police (YRP) confirmed that John Madeley is one of two men charged after a probe into illegal online gaming and betting. CP24 reported that Madeleye retired from TPS at the rank of constable after 28 years of service,

YRP stated that, between January 2024 and October 2025, an organized crime group allowed people to access to gaming websites and place bets using credit. In instances where the wagers lost, the victims of the alleged scheme were required to settle debts in cash, sometimes in “exaggerated” amounts, said a YRP news release.

After an investigation carried out by York and South Simcoe police, officers raided a home in Barrie, Ont. this week where they arrested and charged 55-year-old Madeley. The former office is accused of breach of trust, unauthorized use of a computer and possession of a firearm at an unauthorized place, along with possession of a prohibited device and property under $5000 obtained by crime.

The other man charged is 47-year-old Thomas Phippard, known as Frank the Tank, who was also charged late last year with 11 offences in connection with the ongoing investigation.

According to the CP24 article, four of the seven TPS members charged have been suspended w/o pay. This may be a first since the legislation changed.

And a father (ret.) and son team charged. Family values.
