☆  Peel’s ‘hard-line’ police abuse the law: critics | The Globe and Mail

Disgusting:

For the second time in less than a month, a judge has set free someone charged by Peel Regional Police, and ruled that officers lied and intimidated suspects.

The double blow from the judiciary has done little to shake the police service that patrols the fast-growing cities of Brampton and Mississauga to the west of Toronto: It has no plans to investigate or discipline the rogue officers.

As I said about Bill Blair: police are given extraordinary powers and extraordinary respect. They should also be held to an extraordinary standard.
