A leader’s attitude trickles down to the rank and file. When we have one very senior Toronto Police Service officer arrogantly and defiantly thundering that when he detains a law abiding person, he is the authority and “he doesn’t need to give a reason for his detention of a citizen” this disrespectful, bullying attitude is sure to be adopted by all officers on patrol. This is why Ontario’s plan to circumvent your Constitutional rights by further empowering police to impose “administrative penalties” without court or judicial oversight is a very bad idea.
