JUDGE WAS RIGHT TO THROW OUT DRUG CHARGES

To the editor:

Re: Judge tosses out drug charges against Whitby man, Aug. 27.

The documentary, The Corporation, explained how large companies,
legally considered persons, routinely behave like psychopaths. I'm
reminded of The Stanford Prison Experiment of 1971 and how we know
that ordinary people in power in a prison environment can and will run
amok, let alone career politicians, Generals and CEO's.

The story mentions six times the name of the innocent man, but not
once does it mention the names of the officers who violated his
constitutional rights.

What are their names? Their addresses? Their phone numbers? The phone
number of the local detachment? Are you not allowed to publish
anything about them?

This man made a positive difference in people's lives, and in return
he gets dragged through RCMP muck. For a look at how corrupt our
national police force is, go to http://www.rcmpwatch.com/

I'm glad the judge tossed the charges, because they have nothing to do
with justice. But this man's ordeal is anything but over, and that's
something to be ashamed of.
