MORE REGIONAL POLICE FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES



Boy that headline sounds pretty serious. The headline on the front page of today's Waterloo Region Record sounds serious as well: " Constable covered up for fellow officer's alleged thefts". Then I got into the article and broke out laughing. The thefts included one dildo and a couple of nude pictures. What the hell I thought, why is anybody making a big deal out of this ?

It turns out that one Officer Knox in his infinite stupidity allegedly decided to relieve a burglary victim of her personal sex toy. Regardless of the alleged item he stole, think about this carefully. He's called as a police officer to investigate an attempted home break-in. While there, on duty, he takes (allegedly) a shine to a dildo he finds in the victim's home. He then steals it probably assurring himself that she will be too embarassed to report it. Apparently not. Then a month later this same officer goes to a home in Waterloo about a suicidal woman. Once there this twit is alleged to have helped himself to some nude or seminude photos of this suicidal woman. Come on now if she's already on the edge do you think stealing possibly embarassing pictures of her is going to help her? Clearly if convicted this guy lacks some major requisites to be a police officer.

Going back to his fellow officer things are shaping up somewhat differently. He has pled guilty to obstruction of justice due to his removing the allegedly stolen items from his colleague's locker. As his lawyer said "He did it blindly out of loyalty to another officer". "I submit there was nothing in it for him". He's been placed on probation for a year by the Courts. What is also disturbing in this whole scenario is the number of other police officers who were shown the sex toy and the photos and apparently didn't think Officer Knox's behaviour needed improvement. Until various professions such as teachers, doctors and police realize that bad behaviour by one member stains the credibilty of all, these kinds of behaviour will continue.
