Years later they will be joking about it in a bar, how the senior officer was the young cops Rabbi

Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

So what would the guy get hit with? Killing a motorcyclist with an illegal left turn is a ticket and $600 fine.The good, the bad, the ugly...and the incompetent...
‘That’s what my son’s life is worth?’ GTA careless driving case falls apart over officer’s missing signature
“A signature? A signature, your honour?” father Alen Yekmalian said in court as the case fell apart.www.thestar.com
Absolutely ridiculous that a missing signature lets a driver get off without a charge in killing a young man. Sickening.
Sadly this happens because no one goes out thinking they're going to cause a crash so they get sloppy. Lane departure warnings buzz the driver's seat. Rewire it to give a shot to the head.
Punishment after the deed does nothing but offer some pathetic closure to the surviving family but this heaps salt on the wound. If the perpetrator had an ounce of conscience he would have pleaded guilty instead of weaseling out.
Completely a pipe dream but what is all cars were outfitted with monitors and dash cams, only accessible to the law. They get reviewed for sloppy habits every six months and charges laid. Picture of the driver on the camera.
One of them was very questionable. I doubt he would have got away with it today.
Wow, another fine display of police protecting and serving…
This happened last October and Mr. Hodges may well become a rich man as a result. He has started a GoFundMe campaign to finance his lawsuit against the department for the blatant breach of his rights. If you watch the video to its conclusion you'll see that the officers ultimately arrest him for "resisting arrest without force", as a retributive action, for his statement that he will be lodging a complaint. They do this while he is in handcuffs and offering nothing but verbal statements.
You can watch an analysis of the situation on this Youtube channel which also has a link to Jim Hodges' original posting of the video, with a link to his GoFundMe campaign.
Good. Power tripping cops should be tossed out and held personally liable for such behaviour.
I expect there to be a quick settlement to keep him quiet and move this case off the books.
As explained in the video I linked the Sgt. was demoted, suspended for a week, and won't be getting any chance of promotion for 2 years. The initial officer was suspended for 2 days.
I thought it was the same video that MP posted.. didn't realize it was different video and break-down of the incident.
"Audit the Audit" does some very good work and I had heard about this case, from that channel, a few months ago.

I fell down the audit the audit rabbit hole a few weeks ago. Do this once or twice a year and you don't have to go to work 
The system in the USA is getting far to adversarial and it's flowing over the border.
BTW legally blind doesn't means zero vision. My uncle, due to a tumor, could only read a license plate if he held it to his nose. He was fine walking around the neighbourhood he lived in for forty years.

lol the guy literally baited the cops and made $41k for 15mins of standing around in cuffs.
One of my friends in college was declared legally blind, for the purposes of obtaining audio textbooks. Didn't have any effect on his drivers license, for some strange reason.
You can get fined for wearing headphones/earbuds while driving but you can get your license if you’re deaf.
Another giant failure by the police. Seven month task force, 20 people charged with almost 200 offences, not a single trial yet alone conviction. Complete waste of many millions. If cops can't do their job in a way that gets convictions, why are we paying them? Without a conviction, other than a small amount of drugs seized, they made no positive impact.
As usual, police declined to comment. They should comment by saying a bunch were fired as they sucked at their job and were a waste of money.

The criminal proceedings into what Toronto police described as the "largest international drug takedown" in their history have been halted.
During the news conference, police revealed 20 people, including one youth, were arrested in connection with "Project Brisa" and were facing a combined total of 182 criminal charges.
"These large project cases are not without their difficulties in terms of being manageable to prosecute. And this is an example of it. Some of my colleagues were attacking the search warrants in a way that led to procedural problems for the Crown, and the police And that, in turn, spun out the time it was taking to get through the trial, which created concerns about the right to have the matter tried within a reasonable time," Lafontaine said.
"And sizing it all up, the Crown determined that it was a case that ought not to be pursued any further."
