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.

Finger Gun Leads To Beatdown By Stratford Police – Officer Refuses To Hand Over Notes To SIU – #GangstersInBlue #ManditoryBodyCameras

Stratford police swarmed, restrained, punched, took to the ground, then punched their victim several more times until ribs were fractured, like in a gangster movie when an addle minded thug is offended. The typical gangster beatdown of “grab his arms while I beat him until he shows some respect”. No wonder police refuse to wear and use body cameras.

Now you might be asking what did the Citizen do to trigger such a violent rib-fracturing beatdown by the Stratford “gangsters in blue”. It was an imaginary gun AKA a finger gun pointed toward a moving police cruiser. 

The Stratford police responded to the finger gun like gangsters spotting someone wearing the wrong gang colors in their hood. The cop did a U-turn and signaled his fellow gangsters in blue to swarm and then beat the unarmed man that disrespected them. Then the Stratford police charged their victim with “uttering threats” and declined to hand their notes over the SIU.

Stratford Police Approved To Continue Beating/Torture Of Unarmed Civilians – Outraged Public Demands Body Cameras After Another SIU Failure

27July2015 Stratford police officers threw an unarmed autistic man to the ground and beat him in the head causing a concussion, cuts to his face and a black eye. According to the recently released SIU report “the officers tactic was reasonable”. This type of force is used daily in Ontario and is just viewed as common practice. Body cameras need to be mandatory for all police immediately. There is no other peaceful way forward.

An online fundraiser for the victim has been setup on GoFundMe.

Anyone that doesn’t cower in fear of these corrupt officers will be beaten, simple as that. There is nothing you can do about it unless the incident is captured on video. The SIU is composed almost entirely of former police officers who are fiercely loyal to their beatdown brothers in blue. 97% of the complaints of police misconduct are unfounded according to the SIU. The 3% conviction rate is only that high due to video evidence, otherwise it’s the “beatdown boys in blue” word against yours and they always win.

Public Outrage After Barrie Police Attempt Murder Of Citizen – #FTP #FilmThePolice

Screams of terror by horrified onlookers with video cameras likely saved a man’s life from Barrie police officers. The officers that stood by or joined in are just as responsible as the out of control officer. 

A 20 year old nearly lost his life after making a flippant remark to a police officer in Barrie, Ontario. The officer loses all self control and attempts to crack open the skull of the 20 year old like a coconut, by repeatedly smashing his restrained victim’s head into the concrete. More officers joined in the fun instead of protecting the unarmed restrained civilian from the out of control cop.

The officer did not need to respond to the remark. Responding with violence and trying to kill the man is an act of terrorism. This was a clear message from the police to the Public that they must show 100% respect and fear of the Barrie police or you may not survive.

Gary Grisdale, who identified himself in messages to CBC News as the man’s brother, said the incident happened after his brother “went through a red light on his longboard after looking both ways to make sure the coast was clear.” Grisdale declined to give his brother’s full name.

Grisdale said the officer ticketed his brother and detained him for about 30 minutes. Afterwards, his brother went back onto the road with his longboard and “lipped the officer off a bit,” he said. The officer “got furious,” Grisdale said, and that is when the video starts.

Until all Barrie police officers wear and use body cameras, and these officers are held to account, FTP considers the Barrie police and those that support them blindly to be terrorists.

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.
