Remember that this is the media quoting the charges, not the courts or police. CC Section 348 is "break and enter." CC Section 349 is "unlawful entry." Both carry a potential penalty of up to 10 years. After this gets kicked around the courts for 5-10 years there's also the possibility of charges under the Police Act. "Discreditable" at the least.
Assuming she was already on the clock when she was there, does she get overtime because she was also available to serve and protect? Kidding (I hope)
Another reason for psa to be adjudicated asap. Forget the criminal act, adjusticate psa for theft of time or dereliction of duty as she was spending on duty time doing personal tasks. If the criminal trial results in further psa issues, adjudicate them at that time.
In the background of this issue, was she was hoping to get the guy back?
The story stated that she was on duty but whether she was or not, she was armed and in uniform at the time. The perception of any reasonable person would be that she was on duty.
From the Police Services Act:
It comes down to whether the employing police department has the appetite and fortitude to take on the union.
"Illegal Entry", if performed for the purpose of committing an illegal act.
She's psycho B****. Isn't that good enough for life?
I understand the fear of harm but I thought they were supposed to aim for centre mass. Wounding to disable is for cowboy movies as the target is too small and the bullet has to end up somewhere.Wtf. Cop shot at a guy from less than a car length away and missed. Hit the cop car and another vehicle though. Siu says no grounds for criminal charges. Again, wtf. He took a shot with innocent people in the background and missed. This whole "fear of harm" absolves all sins bs from cops needs to change. As a minimum this should be a criminal firearms charge.
If he can't hit a person that close, he should not be carrying a gun. He is obviously entirely unqualified and unsafe with it.
Cop shot at hammer-wielding man but missed, striking civilian vehicle on busy GTA highway instead: SIU
A Peel police officer who fired his gun in an attempt to subdue a hammer-wielding man but instead struck a civilian vehicle on a busy highway in Mississauga last summer has been cleared by the province’s police watchdog.toronto.ctvnews.ca
This sort of thing is far more common than anyone would like to admit. Even with extensive training at the range or in combat simulation courses, a real life situation creates issues with accuracy. You can find information about this sort of thing in the strangest places. For example the combat system for the original Cyberpunk role playing game was, in part, developed by a former veteran police officer who did extensive studies on real world firearm combat situations, involving police. From memory (I don't have the quotes handy at the moment) his statistical analysis found that the majority of police involved shooting incidents took place at a range of less than 25 feet, generally involved both parties completely emptying their weapons' magazines, and rarely resulted in direct injury. Confusion, adrenaline, lighting, etc. mess heavily with accuracy. And that's with trained users of firearms, not Johnny the thug with a .380 pocket auto.Wtf.

Every time that I hear about an accidental discharge by police, I'm reminded of this incident in Las Vegas.Now I understand police behaviour better. Instructor at ontario police College has a negligent discharge while teaching. It's not often students come out with more knowledge and ability than their instructors. That bar is exceedingly low in this case.
