OPP Reprisals, Threats, Evidence Tampering, Refusal To Wear Body Cameras & Collusion Triggers Further Collapse In Confidence

There is near zero confidence the OPP will perform their duties without prejudice. Even those that proclaim to support the OPP believe that those who stand up to them will be denied service/protection, a potentially deadly scenario. 

Many believe the OPP will just do a “wellness check” and abuse or kill anyone that speaks up, or doesn’t show immense fear/respect. More than often they simply claim they were assaulted, the victim resisted, or some other crime where it will be their word against their victim’s word in court. The police always win in court, unless you have video evidence showing the truth.

Reprisals were swift after a Wingham restaurant declared it would not serve armed OPP members, or anyone carrying a firearm, exposing even more corruption among the OPP. This ban will be in effect until the OPP wear and use body cameras. The owners of the restaurant were overwhelmed with the amount of support and encouragement from the community. 

Shipments of low cost body cameras are now en route to Wingham for members of the Public, to help protect them from unaccountable OPP officers. “If the OPP won’t wear body cameras, we have to.” There is no reason for the OPP not to wear and use body cameras. If they have nothing to hide, then they shouldn’t mind using body cameras.

Video record all police interactions! 

It’s time everything they say will be used against them in court.

F*** The Police – If The OPP Won’t Wear Body Cameras, We Will #FilmThePolice #FTP #KnowYourRights

A growing movement consisting of Rights and Accountability advocates is quickly gaining momentum in South-western Ontario. The OPP refuse to wear body cameras, so the Public has stepped up and started Filming The Police to help hold them to account. They are raising awareness via vehicle & front door stickers & shirts. The police may be conflicted about this campaign as they are paid to protect the free speech rights of those participating.

In Wingham during the transition from Timmy & The Timbits (Wingham Police) to OPP, the OPP are to match the level of service provided by the previous municipal service, which included body cameras. They are not wearing the cameras we taxpayers already paid for.

Recently released video of OPP stomping on the Rights of a taxpayer by confiscating his phone and deleting the video evidence which incriminated the police was the final straw. FTP, FilmThePolice.ca was born to help hold our armed civil servants to account for their actions. 

Video record all police interactions, at least until the OPP agree to wear body cameras.
