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. Their influence on me however has been primarily environmental (and personal) and this is therefore a disclaimer that all words posted on this Blog/Website are mine and I alone am responsible for them. I say this with the greatest respect and affection to my friends.

IMAGINE THAT: OUR SENIOR WATERLOO REGIONAL POLICE LIED & BROKE THE LAW



The Ontario Court of Appeal is not amused by the behaviour of a senior investigating officer and his team. The Court indicated that Waterloo regional Police engaged in "systemic" misconduct in regards to a case that sent a Kitchener man to jail for eleven years. The title of the article in today's Waterloo Region Record is "Regional police, Kitchener judge erred in case that sent a Hells Angel to jail, court rules".

All convictions against Frank Strauss were overturned and the Appeal Court has ordered a new trial. He had been convicted based upon evidence from a second search of his property with a search warrant. The very first search had been conducted with no legal grounds whatsoever and hence no search warrant.

One would think by now that our Regional Police would have learned not to take short cuts when dealing with our local biker gang. Way back in the 70s they pulled similar stunts and worse which ended up with officers being demoted and Sid Brown the Chief being fired, albeit somewhat prematurely. That legal case went on for years and it gave police, police board and politicians all a black eye for a very long time.
