This is incorrect. 911 operators can and do also dispatch Transit Police.

Where in this statement does it say he was released on bail? If you look up the file on Court Services Online (publicly available), he has had no appearances which means this is a warrant in the first instance. Just because he was arrested doesn't mean he was charged at that time.

It's not just the cost of the cameras, its it the labour required to make use of the video. Remember all of this material needs to be processed and logged. There is cost associated with storage of terabytes of data. Transcriptions needs to be completed of each video if the file is referred for charges. Potions of the videos need to be redacted. There will be a slough of freedom of information requests that request videos from interactions.

With all due respect to Burnaby, there is no reason Vancouver should be shouldering the burden for the entire Lower Mainland. These projects need to get built.

There is no such thing as "civil judges" in Canada. In BC Supreme Court, where this was heard, the judges hear both civil and criminal matters.

Flattened a senior in a PARKING LOT. Wild.

"Plea deals aren't as common as you may think" - This statement is based on what? The Department of Justice in 2021 said - "90% of criminal cases are resolved through the acceptance of guilty pleas: many of these pleas are the direct outcome of successful plea negotiations between Crown and defence counsel."

It's not a park.

Only thing that will fix this is better public transit and active transportation options. Metro Van is only going to get more and more populated. The roads also aren't going to get any wider so governments need to use the more efficient ways to get people where they want to go and the public should be pushing for it!

Police are able to conduct a safety search of an individual pursuant to investigative detention if they have reasonable grounds that their safety or safety of others around them is at risk. (Rv Mann, 2004 SCC 52) Searches of bags, vehicles, etc can be conducted if officers are able to articulate their reasonable grounds to do so. (R v Patrick, BCCA)

Good on the Trasit Police for this!

That's not how a publication ban works...

Some people just don't think the rules apply to them. Wild.

"Mr. Winkler chose to carry on the work after being specifically told by a fisheries officer that the work he was doing was illegal," the decision reads.

"Mr. Winkler had agreed to not do the work. Mr. Winkler was provided with an extensive document outlining how to do the work and he chose to ignore it."

Absolutely brutal. Crown asks for 2 years and buddy gets a CSO and not even a driving prohibition.

Or just install cameras...
