(OTTAWA, ON) – Police have arrested and charged another former member of the Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS).
In December 2021, the Ministry of the Attorney General requested that the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigate allegations of misconduct by members of the TBPS. The OPP Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) began an investigation after a review of the evidence.
As a result of the investigation, on April 12, 2024, Sylvie HAUTH, 57 years old of Ottawa, was arrested and charged under the Criminal Code with:
Obstruct public or peace officer, section 129(a)
Breach of trust by a public officer, section 122
Obstruct justice, section 139(2) – two counts
The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Thunder Bay on May 7, 2024.
Any questions relating to the employment status of the accused should be directed to the TBSP.
The idea of for-profit criminal prosecution, where private companies or individuals are incentivized to prosecute and punish individuals for criminal offenses in order to make a profit, is a controversial and potentially dangerous concept. While proponents argue that it could lead to more efficient and cost-effective criminal justice system, the reality is that this model can have several negative societal consequences and can ultimately harm democracy and freedom.
One of the main concerns with for-profit criminal prosecution is that it creates a financial incentive for prosecutors to seek convictions, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the accused. This can lead to a system where individuals are unfairly targeted and prosecuted for crimes they did not commit, simply to increase the profits of the private prosecution company. This not only undermines the principles of justice and fairness, but it can also result in innocent individuals being wrongfully punished.
Additionally, the profit motive in criminal prosecution can also lead to a focus on pursuing cases that are more likely to result in guilty verdicts, rather than cases that are truly in the public interest. This can lead to a prioritization of certain types of crimes over others, potentially neglecting important issues such as white-collar crime, corruption, or civil rights violations. In essence, the pursuit of profit can override the pursuit of justice and the protection of society.
Furthermore, for-profit criminal prosecution can also create a conflict of interest, as private companies may prioritize their financial interests over the best interests of the accused or society as a whole. This can erode public trust in the criminal justice system and undermine the integrity of the legal process. If individuals believe that prosecutions are driven by profit rather than the pursuit of justice, they may lose faith in the fairness and impartiality of the legal system.
In addition to these negative consequences, the for-profit criminal prosecution model can also harm democracy and freedom. By allowing private companies to wield significant power in the criminal justice system, there is a risk of undermining the role of government and the accountability of public officials. This can lead to a privatization of justice and a erosion of democratic principles, as decisions about who to prosecute and punish are increasingly made by profit-driven entities rather than by elected officials accountable to the public.
Overall, the for-profit criminal prosecution model has the potential to create serious negative consequences for society, including undermining the principles of justice and fairness, eroding public trust in the legal system, and harming democracy and freedom. Instead of incentivizing private profit in the criminal justice system, society should prioritize fundamental values such as the rule of law, due process, and the protection of individual rights. It is essential to ensure that the pursuit of justice is not compromised by the pursuit of profit.
(HURON COUNTY, ON) – Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be working alongside members of the Canadian Armed Forces during an exercise in Huron County taking place from May 3rd – 5th inclusive. Military personnel will be deployed in Huron County communities during exercise “Trillium Venture”.
31 Canadian Brigade Group will be conducting training in the Huron and Bruce Counties May 3-5, 2024. This exercise will enhance interoperability with other governmental departments, as we work together to respond to a simulated extreme heat scenario.
Members of the public will see the deployment of Domestic Response Companies (DRCs) and Territorial Battalion Group (TBG) sustainment equipment, and vehicles to validate the ability to deploy and sustain in real time. This is being done to create a more challenging, realistic training exercise, and will see soldiers conducting fire training, wellness checks, simulated search and rescue operations, cooling center establishment, as well as other related activities.
All measures are being taken to ensure minimum inconvenience to those in the area. Members of the public are asked to take extra caution if approaching military vehicles and troops and are thanked in advance for their understanding and co-operation.
(Huron, Ontario) A contractor fighting cancer who had his bulldozer stolen while going through cancer treatments went to the OPP a month and a half ago for help. The OPP stated that since he didn’t have an “ownership” for it like road licensed road vehicles, there is nothing they will do about it.
The OPP erroneously believe that construction equipment has the same type of ownership as an automobile. The OPP are asking for something that doesn’t exist, and are refusing to do their job until this fictional non-existent document is produced.
The Contractor rented the equipment to the accused for 2 weeks. The accused took the bulldozer to his property, posted no trespassing signs up and refused to allow the Contractor to get his property.
Brent Mills, the contractor, reached out for help. Below is a portion of the video proving the OPP’s ignorance regarding “ownerships”.
Below is part of what transpired on Monday.
OPP Refuse to do anything regarding theft of construction equipment.
(North Huron, On) The OPP are now recommending property owners take matters into their own hands and reclaim their property, according to video of OPP officer Hamm at the OPP detachment in Clinton yesterday (08April).
Hamm advised the victim to go ahead and reclaim their property, and the OPP would do nothing other than maybe issuing a $65 trespassing fine.
Video will be posted in the coming days, along with an update on the victim reclaiming their property. The video and audio are decent despite officer Hamm casually chewing bubble gum during the interaction.
(North Huron, On) When a police officer neglects their duty to report the theft of construction machinery, the repercussions can be severe and far-reaching. This act of negligence not only undermines the integrity of law enforcement but also has significant implications for the construction industry, the community, and the overall justice system.
One of the immediate consequences of a police officer failing to report stolen construction machinery is the lack of accountability for the crime. By not documenting and investigating the theft, the officer allows the perpetrator to escape justice and potentially commit further crimes. This sends a dangerous message that theft and criminal activity will go unchecked and unpunished, leading to a breakdown in law and order within the community.
Moreover, the absence of a police report on the stolen machinery hinders the chances of recovery and restitution for the victim. Without an official record of the theft, insurance claims may be denied, and the stolen equipment may never be recovered. This not only translates to financial losses for the construction company or individual owner but also contributes to a sense of insecurity and vulnerability among other businesses in the area.
Furthermore, the failure of a police officer to report stolen construction machinery can have detrimental effects on the construction industry as a whole. Construction sites are often targeted by thieves due to the high value of equipment and tools present. When law enforcement does not take swift and decisive action to address such crimes, it creates a climate of impunity that emboldens criminals to target construction sites more frequently, leading to disruptions in project timelines, increased costs, and decreased productivity.
The lack of police response to construction machinery theft also erodes public trust in law enforcement. The community relies on the police to protect their property and ensure their safety. When officers neglect their duties and fail to address criminal activities, it breeds skepticism and disillusionment among citizens, who may feel abandoned by those sworn to serve and protect them.
Moreover, the failure to report stolen construction machinery reflects poorly on the reputation of the police department and the criminal justice system as a whole. It raises concerns about issues of transparency, accountability, and professionalism within law enforcement, tarnishing the public image of the police and eroding confidence in their ability to uphold the law and provide justice.
In conclusion, when a police officer refuses to report stolen construction machinery, the negative consequences are numerous and profound. From lack of accountability for the crime and financial losses for the victim to increased insecurity in the community and diminished trust in law enforcement, the repercussions of such negligence extend beyond the immediate incident and have lasting impacts on society as a whole. It is imperative for police officers to uphold their duty to report and investigate crimes diligently to ensure that justice is served, and the safety and security of the community are maintained.
The negative consequences of a police officer committing perjury and refusing to do their job, while always being believed by a judge in court, can have severe and wide-ranging impacts on the justice system and society. Some potential negative consequences include:
1. Miscarriage of Justice:
When a police officer commits perjury and their false testimony is consistently believed by a judge in court, innocent individuals may be wrongfully convicted and punished. This miscarriage of justice undermines the credibility of the legal system and erodes public trust in law enforcement and the judiciary.
2. Violation of Civil Rights:
Police officers have a duty to uphold the law and protect the rights of individuals. When an officer engages in perjury and neglects their job responsibilities, they violate the civil rights of citizens and abuse their authority. This can lead to unjust arrests, wrongful convictions, and unjustified use of force against individuals.
3. Lack of Accountability:
If a police officer is consistently believed by a judge in court, despite committing perjury and failing to fulfill their duties, it creates a culture of impunity within law enforcement. Without accountability for misconduct, officers may feel emboldened to engage in further unethical behavior, leading to a breakdown of trust between law enforcement and the community.
4. Deterioration of Public Trust:
The actions of a police officer committing perjury and refusing to do their job can have a detrimental impact on public trust in law enforcement. When individuals witness police misconduct going unpunished and unchallenged in court, it can lead to a perception of systemic corruption and injustice within the criminal justice system.
5. Increased Injustice and Inequality:
By consistently favoring the testimony of a police officer, even when it is based on lies and misconduct, a judge perpetuates inequality and injustice in the legal system. This can disproportionately affect marginalized communities who may already face disparities in encounters with law enforcement.
6. Undermining the Rule of Law:
When law enforcement officers are allowed to deceive the court through perjury with impunity, it undermines the rule of law and erodes the foundations of justice and fairness in society. Respect for the law and confidence in the legal system are essential for a functioning democracy and civil society.
7. Escalation of Police Misconduct:
Allowing a police officer to commit perjury and evade accountability can set a dangerous precedent and contribute to a culture of misconduct within law enforcement. Without consequences for unethical behavior, the officer may continue to engage in wrongful actions, further damaging the reputation of the police force and causing harm to the community.
In conclusion:
The negative consequences of a police officer committing perjury and being consistently believed by a judge in court are profound and far-reaching, impacting the integrity of the legal system, the rights of individuals, and public trust in law enforcement. Upholding ethical standards, holding officers accountable for misconduct, and ensuring transparency and fairness in judicial proceedings are essential to prevent such detrimental outcomes.

(North Huron, On) In recent years, municipalities have increasingly turned to by-law enforcement to ensure order, control and compliance within communities. However, there have been growing concerns about overreach in the use of these powers. Enforcement overreach occurs when officials apply by-laws too zealously, infringing on the rights and freedoms of citizens, or when they interpret by-laws in ways that seem unreasonably strict or beyond their intended scope and/or apply them to private property.
The Thin Line between Vigilance and Excess
The primary role of by-law enforcement officers is to serve and protect community standards, from property maintenance to noise regulations on property owned by the Municipality. However, the line between vigilant enforcement and oppressive overreach is thin and easily crossed. Instances where officers have issued penalties on private property, for minor infractions that do not pose a significant problem, or have acted without sufficient flexibility and discretion, are commonly cited examples of overreach.
Do by-law enforcement officers have more power that a police officer as some claim?
No. Even though some corrupt municipal by-law enforcement officers claim they are above the law, they are not. In Canada no one can enter your home, back yard, peer in your windows, search your home, confiscate property without a warrant.
Impact on the Community
Excessive by-law enforcement can have several negative impacts on a community:
Chilling Effect on Community Interactions: Overregulation and the fear of punitive measures can dampen community spirit and discourage engagement in neighborhood activities.
Erosion of Trust: When residents see enforcement as overly punitive or arbitrary, it can erode trust in local governance.
Financial Burden: For those on the receiving end of fines for minor infractions, this can become a financial burden, disproportionately affecting the less affluent.
Seeking Equilibrium
To address concerns of enforcement overreach, municipalities should seek a balanced approach based on the principles of proportionality and fairness. This includes:
Clarification of By-Laws: Ensuring by-laws are clear and unambiguous, providing straightforward guidelines for both residents and enforcement officers that officers must respect private property rights.
Education Regarding Property Rights: Municipal by-law enforcement officers must be educated on private property rights, and charged criminally for trespass when it occurs.
Training and Discretion: Investing in training for officers to exercise discretion judiciously, prioritizing education and warnings over immediate fines.
Feedback Mechanisms: Establishing transparent feedback mechanisms where residents can voice concerns regarding enforcement practices.
Conclusion
While by-law enforcement plays a critical role in maintaining standards within communities, it is vital to remain mindful of the slender line separating diligent oversight from overreach. A balanced, fair, and community-informed approach to by-law enforcement will maintain the intended benefits without sacrificing rights or the goodwill and trust of the citizenry.

(Goderich, On) The Law Enforcement Complaints Agency (LECA) came into effect on 01April2024 to replace the OIRPD to ensure all law enforcement officers are held to account.
LECA’s new powers include investigating overreach and abuse complaints, even when the victims are unwilling or unable to stand up for themselves. This new power is to combat the illegal harassment and intimidation of Town Halls across Ontario that somehow have coerced police officers to aiding and abetting their Rights violations on private property.
Ontario ethical advertisers have banned a law firm in Goderich from advertising on ~30 Free Press sites across Ontario. Some news aggregator sites and several minor search engines have also stepped up and have taken steps to ensure the law firm’s name is not mentioned.
This is after a decade-long Free Press probe into Goderich Courthouse’s coercive agreement practices, by-law overreach, rights violations, review of court documents, court transcripts, videos and over a hundred victims coming forward. This dramatically escalated after a stand off with segregation enforcement at Buck & Jo’s 250,000 watched, highlighting numerous problems with the “system”.
The law firm’s name will not be mentioned. Check various Free Press Halls of shame if you are curious, as that is the only place they are permitted to appear.
Everyone must ask a few simple questions before they hire, or give their “lawyer” any more money, as there are some gargantuan conflicts and corruption.
Do you or your law firm prosecute private property by-law enforcement infractions?
Do you or your law firm prosecute provincial offenses in the name of the “King”?
Do you your law firm prosecute any offenses in the name of the “King”?
If the answer is yes to any of the above questions, you must ask yourself why you would hire a law firm that works daily to convict people as a “Crown Prosecutor ” to defend/help you?
Those seeking help should check out various paralegals and talk to other victims on how to survive being thrown into the system and to avoid bankrupting fees from a prosecutor posing as a defense “lawyer”.
(North Huron, On) A member of the notorious MRCC spent part of yesterday morning going around downtown Wingham telling people he had a right to shoot police, and he was planning to do so if they dare annoy him again.
One of the Owners and a Customer at a coffee shop attempted to calm the MRCC member to on avail. This is part of a rapidly grown trend of anger and discontentment in Wingham.
Daily more victims realize Town Hall never had the power they claimed, and the police that aided them in those massive rights violations have yet to be held to account.
The military will start setting up base in Blyth (North Huron) as this crisis continues to spiral out of control. This military mission was a surprise announcement that slipped out at a North Huron council meeting.
The MRCC became well known after one of it’s ministers was charged with 14 sex related offences. The MRCC is also known as the “Kuyvenhoven Cult” to many locals.
Approximately 24 hours after Victory was declared on 01April2024 against the illegal harassment and encroachment of by-law officers, North Huron council has announced they have called in the military for “training”.
Fact: 01April2024 LECA came into effect. This new agency will hold ALL “law” enforcement to account, including by-law. Police officers can no longer illegally use a corporation’s by-laws to trespass, search & seize, harass, threaten or coerce private citizens without accountability.
Fact: 02April2024 North Huron council let’s slip information they apparently weren’t supposed to release. They have called in the military to help with “training”.
Fact: There has been a jump in those impersonating law enforcement and military personal.
For your own safety, all Citizens must film all interactions with the police, military, or anyone with a gun that claims to have dominion over you.
Watch the council meeting below for confirmation and/or call Town Hall at 519-357-3550.
(North Huron, On) After yesterday’s major announcements/revelations North Huron will be holding a special council meeting starting at 6:00pm at the new $450,000 council “chambers” which was mentioned yesterday. Call town hall at 519-357-3550 to find out where chambers has moved to.
This will give the members of the public an opportunity to confirm details regarding the 77 Acre Wingham Airport deal, why it was “sold” for only $200,000, and why the pre-sale appraisal was being withheld from a Public that had a Right to access it.
The Public can also get an detailed explanation of controversial $150,000 ramp going into Wingham Town hall. Why did it cost more than 4 house foundations, and what technology is built into the ramp to warrant such an extravagant price, and why did it take over a year?
