I spoke with the person I know on the Edmonton Police Commission, and while he/she didn't have conclusive information one way or the other about this incident, he/she said there are many details to the story that don't square with what he/she knows. Some of the details that don't square are logistical ... procedural details. One thing that was mentioned that's interesting is that the reporter is the same one who was involved with the stakeout/impaired driving sting operation a couple years ago. That raises questions about how objective he might be regarding the Edmonton Police Service therefore, even if it's on a sub-conscious level.
