So you want to be a cop — but you failed the police background check. Do you have the right to know why?

The reason they won't release this information is that citizens will realize that we are living in an East German system here in Ontario, only creepier if you can believe it. Even your State Department has been identifying some of these abuses and surely your broad three letter agencies have plenty of details and assessments of what Canada lead by Ontario has become.

Some kid in grade school who was the son of a cop could have identified him as a "troublemaker" and his permanent dossier is opened against him while he is a kid. They will try to expand it over the years with covert entrapment by more kids who aren't even cops yet, but will be "good earners" by manufacturing the threat and expanding his dossier, all now cops surely.

This man had the resources and support to challenge this to the Supreme Court of Canada. I know that American authorities are watching this case as this will tell you if Canada is in fact a democracy or a Secret Police State.

Should police have to tell unsuccessful law enforcement applicants why they failed a background investigation?

Should police have to tell unsuccessful law enforcement applicants why they failed a background investigation?
In a closely watched case, Yazdan Khorsand, an Iranian-born man with no criminal record, is hoping Canada’s highest court will settle that question after the Court of Appeal for Ontario quashed a lower court ruling that he should have been told why he failed the background check that effectively destroyed his career.

Also at issue are the questions of whether the courts should be able to weigh in on a decision based on police background investigation — or if that amounts to a private employment matter — and what role, if any, systemic discrimination may have played in whether possibly problematic police records are being kept secret.

The ‘duty of procedural fairness’​

Khorsand is not challenging the decision not to hire him, nor is he seeking a job or compensation. In an interview with the Star last year, he said he’s given up on a career in law enforcement after years of trying.

“Mr. Khorsand’s focus is, and always has been, the transparency and fairness of the police screening process that has prevented him, seemingly on multiple occasions, from being appointed a Special Constable pursuant to statute,” Khorsand’s lawyers — Chochla, Abby Deshman, Saad Gaya and Alexi N. Wood — wrote in Supreme Court of Canada filings in the leave to appeal application. The top court’s decision on whether to hear the case is pending.

Obviously. By failing you, you are being accused of something but without explanation, how can you ever test the evidence against you much less appeal it?

This is our Kafkaesque country. A country that many of your police willingly bend their knees to in blind obedience and acceptance of their information.

Perhaps you should try fixing YOUR system instead of advocating that we support authoritarianism.
