Toronto cop who ate pot edibles on duty pleads guilty to attempting to obstruct justice

A chip off the old Canadian block. At least he was honourable enough to wear a uniform, the biggest charade in Canada are those who work covertly.

The judge, the prosecutor and the defendant’s own lawyer all called it a “stupid” decision. And it cost a Toronto police officer, who stole and consumed marijuana edibles seized during a raid, then became so high he thought he might die, his job.

Vittorio Dominelli, one half of a police duo who rose to notoriety earlier this year after they consumed cannabis-infused chocolate on duty, pleaded guilty in a College Park courtroom Friday to attempting to obstruct justice.

The married father of three, who had been with the Toronto police for 13 years, resigned in the wake of the incident, which saw him accused of breach of trust, a charge withdrawn Friday.

The former cop, whose father was a long-serving Toronto police officer, realized he had “lost the trust of the policing community and the public to the point where he could no longer be a police officer,” said lawyer Peter Brauti.

Friday’s hearing provided a detailed account of the high-profile incident, which became the subject of wide media coverage and mockery after it was reported that two cops consumed cannabis edibles on duty, then became so intoxicated they had to call for backup.

Are you sure this wasn't an old Cheech and Chong skit?

It is ashamed he quit his job, but he does have a point and it was the right thing to do. Everone screws up at one time or another and given second chances. It is a problem with LEOs for they use to have to live to just a higher standard. Now day I have not idea of if they even have standards. Good leadership is hard to find in this Nation, and this is why so many respond to the President Trump. That the way I see it.

No patience. All he had to do was wait a few months for it to become legal. Instead he just couldn't wait and had to raid a place to try some. Curiosity killed the career.

Yes a very high incident.

Shitty cops so vote for Trump? Give me a break.

Actually he'd still be violating the rules, TPS and RCMP have to be not using for 28 days before a shift. I don't touch the stuff and don't care to, I don't even drink or smoke regular cigarettes. I do think it's unfair to ask them to a different standard for something that is legal though. I could imagine a 24 hour restriction, but 28 days?

However, that wasn't even the stupid part, he is most stupid for resigning. All he had to do was keep launching appeal after appeal, the taxpayer would pay for it and his salary, benefits and pension. He could continue this for 10 years or so, and not be fired while he sat at home, went on vacation, whatever.

There was a cop recently working for TPS who had a criminal record, multiple different incident and charges. In fact, if I recall, after he was suspended he was charged again, he was still being paid while suspended, still appealed, all paid for by the taxpayer. These were serious crimes too, working with the mob, leaking information about witnesses and giving them heads up about raids etc. After about 11 years or so they were finally "allowed" to fire him.

This is how caste systems work in socialist countries. The outrage is growing louder so this guy was probably strongly persuaded to quit. This is one reason of many America and other allies should not trust Canada. The tactics they use, are also used to enter companies covertly by them, the OPP, RCMP and CSIS. They control society and use Good Little German Canadians to rat out and watch others, while taking de facto management control of corporations.

In the 1970's there was a book written about the RCMP. This author leaked that internally the agency admired and wanted to emulate the Stasi of East Germany. They have, and it has resonated federally with many large agencies. Read the books "Stasiland" or "The File". You will clearly understand the Canadian system, one your own socialist wannabes never talk about in the media. What other nation get a more Free Pass than Canada with U.S media?
