Toronto lawyer Is wondering One of lawyer Al Acton clients was recently placed under arrest for conspl racy to commit murder after he refused to talk to police Mr said They old him were investigating what appeared to be threats against a police officer he said He was then taken to the police stall on and questioned It appears it was just an excuse to take him into the police station because no charges were laid Mr Bickcrton said RESISTING He said if citizens don go along with police hey run the risk of having a charge of resisting arrest slapped against them Mr Bickcrton said two witnesses were present when the above incident took place When asked about the incident deputy chief Bob Mlddaugh said he knew about It We had an allegation that somebody was about to harm or our officers the deputy chief said We had rea grounds and though wo could have arrested five of them only one was taken in far questioning He said others were suspected to be involved and officers questioned them on the rood or I know where the came from and I m quite satisfied deputy chief Mlddaugh said declining to name Ihe source That person actually believed It was going to happen He heard young people talk in the heat of emotion assisted by alcohol who made stale- men Is that could be interpreted as In lend to cause harm The individual made police aware of the infor motion the deputy chief said Whit were we suppo sed do We could hardly sit bick on our hands and say we re not going to take any action deputy chief said The actions of the officers were proper and tied He referred to another where an officer laid an unwarranted charge and the force retracted it It had to do with a youth sitting at a park bench Deputy chief said the offic er was responding to a call to do with narco tics and when he dldnt cooperation from a local youth charged with loitering The deputy chief said the officer t under stood the loitering bylaw when he laid charge We were wrong I II admit it deputy chief said He objected to the fact that people with com plaints about police don go to register their com plaint with the police and go first to the media Ho said people should go first the force then If they don t like Ihe answer they get approach Ihe or Ontario police Use of force police report Herald Every time a police officer uses physical strength his black stick or his revolver he has to III out a Use of

about the force used The report goes to the officers staff sergeant eventually all the way up to the chief of police With a system like thai It one officer continually puts in Use Force reports we can assess hat something wrong with them the deputy chief said He said one such officer had been spoiled In Burlington a while back and had been disciplined and reeducated Asked if officers sometimes don fill out the report try and cover far their behavior deputy chief Mlddaugh said the report must be submitted or else makes an officer look guilty If a complaint is registered When a person isn going
