2 officers in Hwy 401 wrong-way crash won't talk to SIU

[shockedcanadian]

In America would they remain paid police officers?

This case is becoming quite interesting. I think more details are going to be leaked, stay tuned.

Ontario's police watchdog shared more information Wednesday on the status of its ongoing investigation into a wrong-way police car chase on the Highway 401 that resulted in the death of four people, including an infant, in April.

In a release, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said that the two officers who are being investigated have not agreed to an interview or provided their duty notes.

On its website, the SIU says this is within their legal right, as once an officer becomes the focus of an investigation, they're given the same opportunity as citizens under the Charter to protect themselves from self-incrimination.

The agency also said it's currently interviewing 19 officers, known as witness officials, who were involved in the collision. In May, days after the crash, the SIU said only four witness officials were designated.

The SIU is also speaking with civilian witnesses. So far, it said 36 have been identified and interviewed. It also says it has more than 100 videos related to the crash gathered from cars, drones, body-worn cameras, the Ministry of Transportation and civilians.

The April 29 crash happened after a police chase that began with an alleged liquor store robbery in Bowmanville, Ont., in the regional municipality of Clarington. Police pursued the suspect as he drove the wrong way on Highway 401 in Whitby, about 50 kilometres east of Toronto.

Fault of a Criminal: He smashed into other cars....wrong way driving.

Police were chasing the van on one of Canada's busiest highways as Singh was going the wrong way and crashed into oncoming traffic. The collision killed three-month-old Aditya Vivaan from Ajax, and the boy's grandparents, Manivannan Srinivasapillai and Mahalakshmi Ananthakrishnan, who had been visiting from Chennai, India.

The driver of a cargo van involved in a deadly wrong-way crash on Highway 401 east of Toronto late last month was under a court order not to be behind the wheel, according to court records.

Court records show Singh had been charged on Feb. 28 with being in the possession of a stolen vehicle in Whitby. The charge sheet says the 21-year-old was out on a release order following a previous arrest, and that his conditions stated he couldn't be behind the wheel.

He was granted bail the next day. (again with the Courts letting everyone go back into society).

High speed chases have cost many innocent lives. Going high speed in the wrong direction takes the cake.

It gets worse. Not just not doing interviews. They won't even allow their notes on that night.

Is this common in America or other democratic systems, or just Police States like Ontario and the old Soviet Union?

Remember, you guys didn't believe me and you helped the most dishonest agencies in the West.
