Jamie Sarkonak: Judge accuses officer of 'unconscious' anti-Black racism without direct evidence
Justice Renu Mandhane is one of Ontario's foremost judicial activists, so it should surprise no one that she'll stoop to using racism as a basis to let Black men off the hook for possessing illegal guns. Article content That's what happened at the end of March in the case of Robert Cameron, who had been pulled over and detained for having outstanding drug charges and a suspended license, and whose car, in the process, was discovered to be illegally housing an unlicensed firearm. Article content Article content The episode began when a Brampton police officer, Anand Gandhi, was notified by his cruiser's licence plate scanner flagged a nearby Jeep for a week-long impound due to the owner's active infractions. Given the pending charges, the officer called for backup just in case. He then approached Cameron's Jeep, identified him, handcuffed him, patted him down, and sat him in the back of the police car. Article content Article content 'Officer Gandhi specifically denied treating the accused differently or handcuffing him behind his back because of the way he looked, i.e. because he was a Black man,' wrote the judge. 'The officer maintained that it was his 'common practice' to handcuff and place suspended drivers in the back of his cruiser because it was a 'safe place' to speak with them.' Article content The judge noted that the officer had pulled over a woman earlier that day for driving on a medical suspension, but didn't cuff her or keep her in the police car. Her car, however, was not being impounded, and she wasn't said to have outstanding criminal charges. Article content After other officers arrived, the Jeep was searched for the alleged purpose of taking a pre-tow inventory. Some licence plates were found, which Cameron attributed to his girlfriend, as well as a gun, which was under a cargo mat covered by construction materials. Article content Mandhane didn't outright state that the gun was loaded, but she did note that ammunition was photographed by an officer after the weapon was made 'safe of any ammunition.' Article content The officer then placed Cameron under arrest for gun charges and attempted to help him reach his lawyer, who didn't pick up; 15 or so minutes later, he asked Cameron if 'everything in the vehicle' was his. (This, the Crown admitted, was an infringement of Cameron's Charter right to speak to counsel.) Article content The other alleged rights infringements were less clear-cut. Cameron's lawyer argued that he was unlawfully detained from the outset and that his car was subject to an unreasonable warrantless search, violating his respective Section 9 and 8 Charter rights. There is indeed precedent from the Supreme Court of Canada stating that it's wrong to detain a motorist in a police car without necessity (in that case, the driver didn't have outstanding drug charges) — but it's not enough to get evidence tossed if the officer operates in good faith. The Supreme Court of Canada and the Ontario Court of Appeal have also permitted warrantless inventory searches of cars in the past, but those precedents were not applied here.

Saskatchewan marshals employee put on leave before service launches
A member of Saskatchewan's new provincial police force has been placed on leave after a complaint from the public was filed before the service formally launched. A spokesperson from the Saskatchewan Marshals Service (SMS) confirmed that a member has been placed on administrative leave due to an open investigation by the Public Complaints Commission (PCC). The PCC is the province's oversight body that reviews complaints made against municipal police services or officers for alleged misconduct, which includes the new marshals. The five-person panel is provincially appointed. An emailed statement from the SMS did not answer when the member's leave began or what role the member holds within the service. 'No further comment will be made at this time pending the outcome of the investigation,' said the statement. Announced in 2022, the new provincial marshals service is meant to work alongside existing police services to address areas of the province with high crime rates, especially rural communities. It reports to the minister of corrections, policing and public safety, which is currently Tim McLeod. The new police force has been widely criticized by municipalities, the national union representing RCMP members and the Saskatchewan NDP for its cost, potential of pulling officers from other short-handed police forces and overlapping jurisdictions with the RCMP. Earlier this year, Chief Marshal Robert Cameron said the plan is to launch with 17 to 20 officers by summer 2025, growing to a force of 70 officers by the end of 2026 with an annual operating cost of $20 million. The first class of SMS officers is scheduled to be sworn in on April 24 in Prince Albert, where the marshals' headquarters is based. Regina police chief removed from active service as complaint by 'community member' investigated New Sask.
