Text Message Privacy: Did the Supreme Court Get It Right?

On March 27, 2010, the Owen Sound Police Service obtained a general warrant under s. 487.01 and an assistance order under s. 487.02 of the Criminal Code. The warrant named two Telus wireless subscribers and required the telecom giant to provide the Owen Sound Police Service with copies of any text messages stored on Telus’ computer database that were sent or received by … [Read more...]

Did Guelph Police Service Lie About Liberal MP Marwan Tabbara’s Arrest?

Liberal MP Marwan Tabbara Charged With Assault, Break and Enter

When news broke in June that Liberal MP Marwin Tabbara was arrested and charged with two counts of assault, one count of break and enter and one count of criminal harassment, the Guelph Police Service said their media relations person was unaware Tabbara was a Member of Parliament. "The arrest of Mr. Tabbara was not brought to the attention of the media office." That was on … [Read more...]

Raymond Gerald Newman Alleged Murderer Set Free

When police violate the Charter rights of an accused, there is a price to pay. That price, in Chrissy Predham-Newman's case, is her alleged murderer, her estranged husband, walked out of court a free man. On January 21, 2007, Chrissy Predham-Newman was found murdered in her apartment, her throat slashed, in her apartment in Airport Heights, St. John’s, Newfoundland and … [Read more...]

The trial of Ontario Provincial Police Sergeant Mike Dolderman, accused of five counts of sexual assault and five counts of breach of trust, won’t take place until October 6th, at the earliest.

Is a Man’s Home his Castle? Even When He’s on Probation?

Published June 22, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Police, Rights, Unreasonable Search and Seizure


Is a Man's Home his Castle? Even When He’s on Probation?

The short answer is “Yes” according to retired Court of Queen’s Bench Justice M.A. Binder. “The fact of the matter is that it is unlawful to carry out a warrantless search under the guise of a curfew check,” he wrote. Binder’s decision (view PDF) came in response to a complaint against Edmonton Police Service Sgt. Ashley Hayward, in which he ruled Hayward violated the … [Read more...]

RCMP Apology Letter to Travis Bader and Silvercore Training Systems

In early February I had the pleasure of interviewing Travis Bader, founder and owner of Silvercore Advanced Training Systems, at his offices in Ladner, BC. It's an interview I've wanted to conduct for many years so it was a real treat to finally have the opportunity to sit down and speak with him in person. While I wrote extensively about Bader's case and the RCMP corruption … [Read more...]

On February 15, 2016, RCMP Constable Jeffrey Rae Gillis, a 20-year veteran and member of the National Weapons Enforcement Support Team, found himself on the wrong end of his own handcuffs. After Charlottetown Police Service constables attended his residence February 11 and 14, 2016, for disturbance calls, they charged Constable Gillis with two counts of assault and one count … [Read more...]

Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis Desperately Needs Thicker Skin

Published June 16, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Constitutional Violations, Freedom of Speech, Unreasonable Search and Seizure


Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis: if you can't handle being mocked stop being a politician.  Mocking and ridicule come with the territory so either get a thicker skin or get yourself a new job.  Wasting police resources to harass those who oppose you is the act of a tyrant, not a mayor. Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis was so worried about a parody Twitter account with all of 50 posts and 50 … [Read more...]

Thomas Harding and the Heavy Hand of Surete du Quebec’s Police State Thugs

Thomas Harding, as you may know, is the engineer of the train carrying oil that derailed in Lac Megantic, Quebec, leveling the town with the resulting explosion and fire. From the date of that terrible tragedy Thomas Harding avoided public comment at every turn. He cooperated with police and accident investigators fully and completely. Through his lawyer he even made it … [Read more...]

Montreal Police Constable Stephanie Trudeau: Just Another Thug Cop?

Published March 23, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Courts, Police Brutality, Police Misconduct


Montreal Police Constable Stephanie Trudeau is, as evidenced by her own actions, a thug. She makes the tradition of RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler proud. As is the style of so many police constables today, she is known primarily through her badge number, 728.  Constable 728’s primary goal in any interaction with we mere citizens is to ensure our immediate and complete … [Read more...]

Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot?

Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot or just thoroughly ignorant of the laws she supposedly enforces? I honestly don’t know what else you can say about a so-called "police officer" who has absolutely no idea of what she speaks. I also can’t fathom how moronic [alleged] reporter Darrell Bellaart must be that he refused to do the most basic fact-checking … [Read more...]

Yes, Recording Police IS Legal. That won’t stop you from being arrested though

Published March 11, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Courts, Police Misconduct


It is legal to videotape police doing their job, even when they don’t like it. This is true on both sides of the border. The trouble is that while video-recording is legal, police still seize cameras and harass mere citizens even though those citizens have committed no crimes. The latest victim of this police malfeasance is George Thompson, who used his cell phone camera to … [Read more...]

RCMP Anti-Bullying Initiative is Ill-Timed and Thoroughly Misguided

While the RCMP promoted Pink Shirt Day as a way of stopping bullying in schools, the horsemen took to bullying some of Canada’s best and most law-abiding citizens: gun owners. In true hypocritical fashion, the Boys with the Yellow Stripes did precisely as they pleased and with zero regard for the people they bullied into criminals. RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson’s … [Read more...]

Royal Canadian Mounted Police or Rogue Cops Making Policy?

After the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arbitrarily manufactured over 13,000 “gun criminals” last week by reclassifying Swiss Arms and CZ 858 rifles from non-restricted to prohibited, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney announced a 5-year amnesty protecting those formerly law-abiding gun owners from prosecution. Gun owners across the country are understandably … [Read more...]

The RCMP Hates Only One Thing More Than Firearms: Firearm Owners

Published March 1, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Gun Politics, Guns, Police, RCMP Accountability


The priorities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are screwed up. You may think tracking down child pornographers might be a bigger priority for RCMP investigators but I suspect you would be wrong. The RCMP seems far more intent on tracking down law-abiding gun owners and building files on them instead. In 2013 and 2013, for example, the RCMP spent $1 million on … [Read more...]

The Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) ruling, R. v. Vu, found that RCMP members violated Thanh Long Vu’s Charter Rights and Freedoms when they executed a search warrant on Vu’s Langley, BC, home in 2007. Despite finding that Vu’s rights were violated the Supreme Court refused to throw out the evidence gained by those violations. Instead the SCC ordered a new trial for Thanh Long … [Read more...]

It took over a week but RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson finally came out of hiding to face Canadians about the criminal actions of his force in High River, Alberta. Well, he didn’t actually come out of hiding to face Canadians.  He merely published a letter to the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP on the RCMP’s website.
