When organizations employ those who manufacture threats as teens to have careers, you have to think there are going to be a number of bad apples being hired.
How many people did he railroad in his lifetime to feed his addiction? I am all for second chances in life even though this man probably wouldn't support it of those he arrested.
Ontario is in deep trouble no matter how one cuts it.
Dozens of criminal prosecutions could be affected by allegations a Toronto detective was caught with drugs following a drunken vehicle pursuit that left two police officers injured, according to records obtained by CBC News.
Det. Const. Brian Sukhram spent several years investigating the narcotics trade for the Toronto Police Service's drug squad and other units, making undercover buys and handling contraband before he was arrested in Peel Region last year and charged with possession of cocaine and methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking.
Criminal defence lawyers consulted by CBC News say Sukhram's background, and the charges against him, will seriously impact cases linked to the veteran officer.
"When it comes to anything to do with drugs, he's obviously lost all credibility and reliability," said defence lawyer Alison Craig. "If he's a key witness, the Crown … is going to have to end the prosecution."
Sukhram declined comment through a Toronto Police Association spokesperson.
Documents released to CBC News in response to an access to information request support Craig's assertion and reveal federal prosecutors spent weeks analyzing cases linked to Sukhram, sharing spreadsheets of files, which were redacted before their release.
