God Save the Shiksa “Police in Ontario conduct well over 22,000 strip searches a year. It is extremely concerning that almost two decades after the Golden decision, police continue to conduct strip searches in violation of the law. This comes at a high cost to those directly affected by humiliating and intrusive searches and to the justice system, especially where unlawful searches result in the exclusion of evidence or the staying of charges. Consistent, comprehensive policies and procedures, proper documentation, adequate statistics, and effective training are all required to ensure strip searches are only done when needed, and that they are done in accordance with the law.” — Gerry McNeilly, Independent Police Review Director https://www.oiprd.on.ca/oiprd-releases-report-on-police-strip-searches-in-ontario/ https://leveller.ca/2021/09/nothing-but-dead-ends-how-the-complaints-process-protects-the-ottawa-police/ https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/2022/02/22/mpp-randy-hillier-told-to-apologize-for-inflammatory-tweets-racist-and-discriminatory-statements.html https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-omar-alghabra-says-tweet-calling-him-terrorist-is-example-of-hate/ https://lakesuperior.news/Public-Safety/matilda-need-emergency-surgery-after-swallowing-covid-masks https://www.oiprd.on.ca/complaints/ https://complaint.oiprd.on.ca/OIPRD.Efile/Complaint_en.aspx
