High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

[Jarnhamar]

Arresting him for assaulting a police officer seems like a stretch. "You pushed into me".

Maybe David Menzies will get an apology and Tims card

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but seems like a general case of the 'Streisand effect'. The threats to charge her seem pretty spurious though, and again, seems like that port briefing of 'Don't go to x', which is of course the first place people look for.

Military police threaten to charge cheeky entrepreneur for selling sex to soldiers

Prostitution is legal in Canada. Unless it’s being sold in a military uniform.
This, after Canadian Forces military police threatened to charge a Kingston-area sex worker who offers discounts to foot soldiers and senior platoon leaders.
Why?
Aside from this being a potential offence, it could lead to other more serious consequences and engaging in sexual exploitation clearly goes against our CAF Code of Ethics and Values“
Canadian Armed Forces
For “unlawful use of military uniforms” according to police documents obtained by PostMedia. That’s because Christina Lea Gilchrist — who has never been a service member — dresses up in a cammo skirt and faux military garb to advertise services which attract a fairly exclusive clientele and a 25% discount upon presentation of military ID.
“Upon review of your website, it was noticed that you were not only advertising your services wearing a military uniform which is a controlled piece of clothing, but also displaying other parties engaging in sexual acts while also in uniform,” they complained in a letter to Gilchrist sent on December 18.
They also went through the unusual step of warning soldiers at CFB Kingston to stay away from the 32-year old hooker or face unspecified consequences. Although selling sex is legal in this country, solicitation isn’t.
An internal memo stated: “The escort in question has photos posted on their website of (as of yet unidentified) clients in CAF uniforms in compromising positions. Aside from this being a potential offence, it could lead to other more serious consequences and engaging in sexual exploitation clearly goes against our CAF Code of Ethics and Values.”


For her part, Gilchrist told the Ottawa Citizen that business is booming, so to speak, after the ultimatum was made. Her website — which has since been taken down — received 10,000 hits within 72 hours after the memo was released.
“I’ve never walked around in public pretending to be a soldier,” she explained. “People in movies dressed up as soldiers aren’t impersonating soldiers, so why do they think that I am? “They gave me all this free publicity.”
In their memo, the MPs claimed Gilchrist had violated Section 286 of the Criminal Code against advertising for sexual services and 419(a) for unlawful use of military uniforms.
“Further, as our investigation continues, if it is discovered that you received your uniform from another Canadian Forces member, then an additional charge is present,” police added.

Looks like she has a grenade pin attached to her jacket zipper.

“unlawful use of military uniforms”

Are they really considering that jacket and cadpat skirt a military uniform?

Cops ripped for arresting reporter trying to ask Chrystia Freeland questions​

Cops ripped for arresting reporter trying to ask Chrystia Freeland questions

A reporter was arrested Monday while trying to ask questions of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland in public.

Looks like the cop steps in front of the reporter then starts crying about being assaulted. Even Elon Musk chimed in.

Ugh... This is a no win.

I'm not sure this is a can of worms we want to open up.

It is hard to believe they would waste time going after her on such petty charges when they decided not to go after Maj Chledowski who called on police and military personnel to rise up against the federal government over COVID-19 pandemic regulations.

It's begs the question, doesn't it ?

 

[brihard]

Yeah, they're out to lunch. No way they'd prove the requisite intent for a s.419 charge. It's just the chain of command and MPs being big mad because theyir troops make poor life choices.

Yes, becoming an MP is indeed a poor life choice.

I'm released and am absolutely positive this is a can of worms we want to open up for our own entertainment.

Oh for goodness sakes, Are we still looking for "x"?

I find it hilarious that the article covers up one of the letters in her website with an asterisk.

I have absolutely no idea what that letter could be…

 

[lenaitch]

I won’t offer any comment on the subsequent arrest part of it; that’s up to the arresting officer to articulate his grounds- but crowding a minister with a protective detail into a wall is definitely going to get you intervened with.

It’s interesting that Freeland has a protective detail now.

I dunno. If that was close protection it was pretty loose. Site security maybe.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

At least they put the article in the Business section.

 

[Good2Golf]

It almost looked like Freeland drew him into cannelizing ground and the DPMPD flanked him…

 

[brihard]

Looking at it a second time I’m pretty sure you’re right. Plainclothes site member, not a VIP detail. The camera pans away at a key moment, but it looks like Menzies was trying to push past the officer to get back to Freeland.

The officer has absolutely nothing to worry about professionally or legally. He’s definitely gonna get doxed and harassed though.

Hmmmmm rules for thee.....

I second the motion. All in favor??

 

[Navy_Pete]

The bit that I find funny is they are trying to link this to sexual exploitation under CAF ethics, so if they tried to add something like that to a charge under sexual misconduct, could the defense possibly call her as a witness? (I think there used to be an actual can of worms emoticon)

RCMP officer under review after arresting Rebel News commentator David Menzies for 'assault'​

Well-known leftist activist Desmond Cole also decried the arrest of Menzies.
“David Menzies is gross, but for those saying he isn’t a real journalist: should the police be able to block the path of, and then arrest, anyone who wants to question a politician in public?” Cole said on X.
