This Blog will discuss politics, government, corruption, police, S.I.U., courts, education, min. of attorney general, min. of labour, v.o.i.c.e. and other current and past events of interest to concerned citizens. In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for.

WATERLOO REGIONAL POLICE EMBARASSED AGAIN



Usually the Regionals pick and choose a little more carefully who they get hard assed with. Occasionally such as the incident on Ahrens St. a few years ago they pick an ordinary Joe and still get burned. This time Waterloo Region's finest tried to pick on a lawyer. Talk about a pretty dumb move. Today's Waterloo Region (K-W) Record has the following story "Lawyer settles lawsuit with police". There are many interesting nuances to this story. First of all the Officers claimed that they had legitimate grounds to detain and arrest lawyer Jeffrey Garland after his complaint led to an investigation. Then they turned around and apologized to Mr. Garland. He responded by suing them in Small Claims Court. His lawyer was none other than Davin Charney who is making a name for himself by beating the Waterloo Regional Police in court, repeatedly. At that point the Regional police settled out of court for $5,000. What the heck? Almost makes you think that the officers alibi of mistaken identity was horse manure. Mr. Charney is becoming a one man wrecking crew when it comes to local police misconduct. Maybe our Regional Chair might give some thought to having real civilian oversight of our Regional Police. Clearly somebody needs to.

    The police are a huge waste of my hard earned tax dollars. Shame on these clowns.
