RCMP watchdog raps Mounties over High River gun seizures during 2013 flood

You know how some Americans worry that the government will take their legally owned firearms? Well, the RCMP have already done this, unlawfully.

The unaccountable RCMP, TPS and OPP. Not trusted by Canadians or Americans. With good reason.

RCMP watchdog raps Mounties over High River gun seizures during 2013 flood

The RCMP watchdog says Mounties improperly took guns from flood-stricken homes in Alberta two years ago — seizures that angered High River residents and fostered mistrust of the national police force.

In a report released Thursday, the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission blames the mistakes on poor leadership, lack of guidance and failure to communicate with the public.

The RCMP had legal authority to forcibly enter evacuated homes during the natural disaster and even to seize loose firearms in plain view, the commission report says.

The Mounties say the guns could have posed a hazard, as there were reports of break-ins and thefts, and there were over 300 people — including one high-risk offender — who refused to evacuate.

Under the Criminal Code, such seizures did not require a court-approved warrant, but officers failed to take the necessary next step of reporting their actions to a judge.

In addition, RCMP members exceeded their authority by seizing some guns that were properly secured or that were not "in plain view," the commission found.

In all, 609 firearms were taken from 105 homes.

Sounds important

Sounds important

When the police break into your home, search for your firearms and take them in mass numbers, you might find stories like this important.

Big deal During the New Orleans flood, the cops just killed people. I guess it was quicker than searching for guns.

Yeah, that's unique only to America. We have that too, James Forcillo killed a kid in front of 25 other cops who surrounded a vacant streetcar (was caught on video). A guy named Ian Bush was shot in the back of the head and the RCMP said he was charging them. Another suspect was shot while handcuffed to a tree.

The Canadian system is worse though, the police prefer to persecute and engage in life destroying methods as they prefer that you kill yourself rather than them having to do it for you. It's based on the East Germany police methods and can only function in a system that is fully unaccountable. I know of a young woman who killed herself due to the interference in her life of an undercover Toronto officer, but wait, it get's even more disgusting. This dirty rat bast.ard did the eulogy at her funeral! You cannot make this up, it's Canada.

Not to worry though, American businesses and security are at risk due to these methods, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. Reminds me of the police in the U.S thanking the Canadian police for their efforts AFTER a man stabbed a police officer in a terror attack at the airport recently. LOL. Thank them for what!? They allowed the export of a terrorist. If even the U.S police are going to "get in line" for Canadian police, America is in deep trouble.
