Doesn't surprise me that a law enforcement agency would/may have something to do with this. There have been cases in the past involving the RCMP picking up natives and dropping them off in the middle of a very cold, winter road. I also know ppl that know of the parties that people in law enforcement can have. The drugs and alcohol confiscated do wind up fueling these absolutlely wild "get-togethers".

Not everyone in law enforcement is a total a**, but there are some bad apples.

Like any organization.

As for the taking of seized goods by law enforcement personel....it is more of a modern day myth created out of the fact that it did happen 50 years ago. Everything that is seized now is documented and must be accounted for. Has some law enforcement officer stole seized goods before....sure......more likely than not. But for a group of them to steal a bunch of seized goods and then have a big party together. Unlikely.

Ok, first of all, I am 99% sure these cases you heard about were from the Saskatoon police, not the RCMP. And your comments about seized drugs and alcohol ending up at police parties are interesting, but you offer no proof to back up your statements. All you have is apparent word of mouth. You don't seem to have much credibility, I guess that's why you have a blue square under your name.

Not RCMP, or even Canada for that matter, but this took place around here a few months ago:
