OPP Caught On Video Again Breaking Law In Wingham – #NotAboveTheLaw

(North Huron, On) Confidence in the OPP hit a new low a few months ago when they were caught removing council meeting notices. The OPP admitted there was no grounds for an investigation, and made no effort to return the property they had stolen and did not apologize. This systemic above the law attitude, and the corruption at the Goderich Courthouse, ensures that no police officer is ever held to account for anything they do to us.

27Feb2024 at approximately 9am an “unmarked” OPP cruiser drove the correct way down the clearly marked one-way Diagonal Rd in Wingham, and pulled into a parking space. The officer then pulled out of the parking space, and reversed back into the same parking space, positioning the vehicle to leave going the wrong way down the street.

At  9:02:13am the OPP cruiser proceeded the wrong way down the street, then turned onto John St E.

Witnesses believe the officer in the vehicle is a former Wingham police officer, meaning they would have been fully aware of the one-way street and openly and willfully broke the law as they know there will never be any consequences.

To find out if the officer will be charged, or to find out what excuse the OPP will use to avoid accountability please contact their media relations person. It is his job to answer questions. Give it a try and find out how corrupted the system is. The contact information is below.

Anti-maskers To Attempt Shutdown Of Wingham Business This Saturday – Rape, Bombs, Boycott, Arson, Robbery, Theft, Window Busting & Assault All Threatened Over FilmThePolice Mask

Anti-maskers are threatening to shut down a Wingham restaurant this weekend “by any means necessary” after an unmoderated posting in an area FaceBook group spiraled out of control. A photo of a FilmThePolice.ca facemask posted in a FaceBook group went viral in minutes, triggering calls to picket the restaurant selling them, in an attempt to cripple them financially by scaring customers away. They are claiming this Saturday they will protest outside Buck & Jo’s to prevent any customers from entering on the busiest day of the week.

The threats included burning down the building, smashing windows, attacking family members of the owners, a dine and dash campaign and an organized boycott. “I hope your business dies and so do you”, “You must die, and die now”, “when we are raping your wife, who are you gonna call? The police won’t do a thing”, “How much ransom are you willing to pay for your children”.

Help End The Police State – FTP Products Now Available In Wingham

We are living in a police state where you can be charged with zero physical evidence, and you are guilty until you can prove otherwise. In Ontario, based solely on an officer’s word you can lose your driver’s license or even spend up to 10 years in prison. When someone is charged or convicted of a crime without any physical evidence we are living in a police state. Thanks to the public for video recording the police, several area police officers have been caught deleting videos, fabricating notes for court, neglect of duty, harassment and lying on the stand in court.

There are dozens of crimes a corrupt police officer can charge someone with, absent of any physical evidence. The officer simply has to say you threatened them and your life as you know it is over. The corrupt cop without any physical evidence can also claim you ran a stop sign, held your hands in a threatening manner, were going to use an everyday object as a “dangerous weapon”, resisted arrest, drove dangerously, drove while high, assaulted the officer or disturbed the peace. If you don’t have proof you didn’t do what they said, you will be convicted. Sadly the only way to prove you didn’t do something is video evidence. The reality is we are beyond a “police state” and have fallen to fascism since the police use violence on a regular basis.

Mandatory police body cameras are essential for equality and justice. Since the police won’t wear body cameras, the public needs to record every police interaction they witness.

FTP products are now available in Wingham, look for the business(es) with FTP items in their windows. FTP shirts, masks, body cameras and hidden cameras are available.
