THERE APPEAR TO BE THREE MAIN REASONS any so called professionals, the RCMP now too, have DEGENERATED IN EFFECTIVENESS SO VISIBLY. THE SAME REASONS THAT WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO MOST PROFESSIONAL BODIES NOW AS WELL..
-The first is the initial employee, managements hiring, selection process. Police forces tend to have common criteria of personnel selections.
– The second clearly is promotional mechanisms within the force.. which seems too often to reward AND promote incompetency.. TO ME THIS EXPLAINS WHY POLICE CHIEFS, MANAGERS TEND OFTEN NOW TO LACK MORALITY, CREDIBILITY, ETHICS TOO.
– The third is the internal self regulating aspects
So still now what is needed firstly is not more self regulations, the supposed discipline of its members , or their ensuring the education, competency testing. For it is a fact that anything that will put a self regulating body or a Ministry into a negative light will have a built in tendency still to be denied, suppressed, minimized in reality . There in reality is the one important step that all consumers can take to protect themselves from any unscrupulous persons and that is enforced, exemplary public exposure and prosecution of the supposedly guilty persons by a recognized judicial public body, and so now how many such bad persons now have really been exposed, prosecuted in the last few years in reality too by the responsible Ministers as well? None? and why not?
Here I would note also that one of the main instigators of the professional Doctors carrying out their duties more effectively was not only the threat of discipline by their self regulating body, but the threat of an external, public lawsuit itself.. something that is generally drastically missing in the police forces now..
Exemplary Public exposure and prosecution of the guilty serves very ones best interest… too often still missing in the PROFESSIONAL BODIES, EVEN IN THE RCMP, police forces as well it seems too.
Robert Dziekanski’s death at Vancouver’s airport has eroded public confidence in the RCMP among Canadians who feel four officers used too much force when they shocked the Polish immigrant with a Taser, a new survey suggests in B.C., where 73 per cent said the officers used too much force, and 54 per cent said they now have less confidence in the RCMP.
Now as if you all did not know that already that the Local and the national police cannot be respected to do a decent inquiry into the alleged wrong doings of any police officers, cause we can seem all to know that the accused police officers do not hesitate to lie, to cover-up the reality… now self regulation of the police force, is just useless self masturbation always it seems, thus we need independent reviews of all police complaints for all of the police forces too in Canada, with real negative consequences on the guilty persons now too and it is as simple as that.. too often Self regulation is another bad word for masturbation and it is not the real thing..
B.C. freezing death report calls for police to stop investigating themselves Thu Mar 12, 6:56 PM VANCOUVER, B.C. – A homeless alcoholic who died cold and alone in a Vancouver alley was a victim of indifference and callousness, compounded by a botched police investigation into his death, says a former judge who presided over an inquiry into the man’s death. William Davies released a highly critical report . Davies told a news conference the Vancouver Police Department’s investigation of the two officers involved in Paul’s death was flawed and the system needs a radical overhaul. “These systemic flaws are grounded in conflict of interest – police investigating themselves,” he said. Davies’s recommendation IS that a civilian body, not another police department, should investigate police-related deaths.
Believe other people’s lies, spins or
be truly informed or be ignorant and it is still your choice too..
5 to 15 percent of all accidents and related deaths are caused by speeding, so who deals with the remaining 85 percent in reality? No one! Even though most accidents are still caused by the other revenue generating traffic offences such as drunk, impaired driving, bad drivers, distracted drivers, road rage, and unsafe vehicles.
Our RCMP members, sheriffs and other agencies, bottom line is they have a zero-tolerance policy in effect.”
DOES A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY APPLY TO DRUNK DRIVING, SPEEDING, CITIZEN ABUSES TO THE RCMP members, sheriffs and other agencies, OR IS IT STILL A ONE WAY STREET… I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY COPS STILL DO DRIVE HOME drunk FROM THE POLICE UNION TAVERN..
We also still do need better police managers, better Justice Ministers Canada wide too.
In busy Toronto, police say Drunk driving and careless turning are the main culprits for serious accidents in intersections and red light cameras are not used because of the fear of public backlash.. So why are Calgary drivers such chronic lead-foots? or is the question why is it the Calgary city fathers are so money hungry? The police services are implementing the speed cameras as a way of adding to their coffers.. ‘Speed on green’ cameras linked to rear-end crashes. Arizona cities, one of the first cities to bring in such technology says the cameras decrease speeding and dangerous collisions, but can increase the number of rear-end crashes. But of course the money hungry police of Calgary had denied this.
ANOTHER CASH GRAB.. The Calgary Parking Authority is expanding its hold on the inner city by starting to charge for parking on more than 20 blocks of the Beltline.
CALGARY AND EDMONTON POLICE ISSUE MORE TRAFFIC TICKETS OVER ANY OTHER CITIES IN CANADA AND FOR DECADES NOW TOO!
Anyone who thinks the cops here are being honest, serving the public is a fool..
No matter how that dirty RCMP weasel spins the facts, tries to weasel out of the truth, the RCMP was clearly wrong on many counts in the Taser death of a polish immigrant at the Vancouver airport.. they were uncompassionate, inconsiderate, used more restraining force than was necessary, and they next also clearly lied to cover-up their own immoral acts, and many times as well, They slander a good man in the process as well.. and so none of this was, is acceptable or forgivable.. none of it. https://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/the-mickey-mouse-rcmp-in-canada
Now the RCMP is so ready to monitor others it firstly cannot monitor itself.. how absurd and hypocritical still too
Most reasonable and reasoning people have seen the folly of speed cameras for decades now too.
Here is what I found amazing and worth while examining now in much more detail.. insurance companies in Canada do not mind gouging Canadian consumers in their greed to make more profits.. and we all know that accumulating speeding , traffic infractions, will cause your car insurance costs to go up significantly… and yet here is what I find surprising, neither the insurance companies, the provincial government, nor the federal government, the police have real, valid detailed statistics on the causes of traffic accidents: such as how many were caused my alcoholic drivers, how many were caused by speeding, how many were caused by poor road conditions, lousy snow clearing as well, etc not even in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, BC as well.. …. so what do the insurance companies do with all the extra money they collect, certainly they of all persons should have firstly the best statistics on traffic accidents now in the first place, or how do they determine their rates??? Even Canada’s police chiefs have to rely on accident statistics from other countries, such as Australia, Great Britain, the US..
