That being said, I don't think your statement:



I believe you are painting the police services in Canada with the same brush used in the states. It seems like there is a story coming out of the states everyday about police stupidity, yet how often do we see them here in Canada. Please know, that I am not excusing the actions of the officer in the OP story, I have no sympathy for him.

The police in Canada are not like the police in the US. "Most" as in majority of the officers are not liars, but I would be happy to read literature that you have that supports your claim that they are liars.

I have had dealings with many police around the world, including an overnight stay in an Eastern European jail. Canadian police (while not perfect) are nowhere near those of the US or other 2nd/3rd world countries.
