Apparently they can own and run one or more bars, based on past performance, while suspended for years with pay.Ontario’s Police Services Act requires officers to be paid while suspended unless they are convicted of a crime.
Understandable to a degree. It would be very easy to set up an honest cop and hang him out to dry with false charges, delaying the trial until he went broke.
But the axe swings both ways. If a bad cop / defendant can keep the trial delayed he's on perpetual paid vacation. Can he do side gigs while suspended?
How much would it cost to fire an employee without cause if they had 14 years on the job?
