He was, but after considerable time, expense, and the confiscation of his firearms.
I don't think it cost him a cent... People put up the money for his defense. I believe he got them back after the trial.

It depends. My old neighbour was a cop that didn't play along with thin blue line crap. If he saw someone doing something wrong, they were getting written up. He was transferred to health and safety and training decades ago. I doubt his attitude was appreciated.I've always wondered if police across different regions 'help' one another..
Guess not...
Nope times aren’t changingNot that DWI is not a serious offence it is worse IMO if he was on-duty vs off-duty. I think for most employers the big issue for a DWI on your own time would be your ability to get to work and your ability to do your job if it includes driving....
As for the thin blue line, a few years back a Toronto cop basically got drummed out of the force for handing out a DWI to a non-Toronto off-duty. Hopefully times are changing.
Agree on DWI. I still think the way charges are dealt with is ridiculous. He was charged by a different police force. Why does he get a paid vacation months or years long? It's not like he can walk into the evidence locker and destroy things. He should keep working until convicted (or not) and as I constantly harp, PSA enforcement (or determination of no enforcement required) should happen ASAP. This isn't a complex criminal trial where years of investigation are required. He was supposedly driving impaired. All of the evidence is documented and the criminal charge laid, proceed with PSA investigation.Not that DWI is not a serious offence it is worse IMO if he was on-duty vs off-duty.

Let the union cover the costs. If the officer is not convicted, then the union is reimbursed.

Trial for that one is circling the drain three years after the shooting. A key witness had looked through the entire SIU investigation even though they should never have seen it. Apparently cop A assaulted cop B. Cop B then shot cop A. Cop A is on trial for assault. IIRC, cop B was investigated by SIU and it was determined that criminal charges were not warranted.Didnt two Niagara cops get into a gunfight with each other within the last couple of years.. Lol

I was rear ended by a cop. (it's fun to curse out a cop when you have good reason)To soon to say if the officer will be charged.
Anytime I’ve seen something like this. Car rear ending another car charges was laid on the spot
My parents were rear ended by a cop in stop and go traffic on the 401 in toronto. Cop flipped on the cherries and took off up the shoulder. They filed a report but were told there were no police in the area at the time. No dashcam so they couldnt do anything else.I was rear ended by a cop.

He was charged at some point... and the charges later dropped.
I haven’t confirmed this personally but I’m not surprised if that’s actually true
