The police in Quebec are so ridiculously corrupt that hearing about them doing this on a regular basis and then lying through their teeth about it is the least surprising thing I've ever heard.
I've been with friends in Gatineau who have gotten assaulted (when they wandered away from the group), and when they ask for help from the police they get a response "come back and ask in french and maybe we'll help you. Until then you belong in Ontario." Quite frankly that is disgusting and as someone who usually has a great deal of respect for police, I certainly wouldn't put the police in that province above doing things like that.
