Lol "police put locks on their lockers" reminds me of a saying. "There are no thieves in the Army, just people trying to get their stuff back."
Props to the cops who turned on the bad actor.
Considering this is the EPS, which has been known to close ranks when corruption is implicated as well as freeze out and shun internal whistleblowers, this has to be one of the most blatant cases ever. It's bad enough that they figured they couldn't cover it up or deny it.
How stupid would you have to be to keep the proceeds of crime in your work locker, at the police station? That show an incredibly high level of arrogance.
Well, think about it. It would be the last place one would think to look. Why WOULD someone keep evidence pursuant to a crime within a police station? Stands to reason they wouldn’t, so one wouldn’t waste resources looking until the suspicion was clear.
Corrupt Cops??? No Way🙄.
If stuff is "going missing" from a police locker, the police have a lot bigger problems to deal with than some dude clearing some warrants for cash.
Wow this sounds like there is something else going on if he had 80,000 dollars in cash.
I don´t know how much cash you could. put in to a bank account before IRS want to talk to you. the problem is that even if you got that kind of money. It´s not like you could buy a car. with out IRS wanting to talk to you.
Doing more than just the warrants for sure.....
So a Lawyer and Police officer were shaking down people who have a warrant on the street?
Nothing unusual about that, only that they kept the money for themselves (allegedly)
@@MrNorker77 allegedly
This is what I'm confused about because they talk to some of the people who the warrants were for and it doesn't sound like they were shaken down, they don't even knew who the cop is, they only know the woman.
They weren't shaken down. They paid to clear their warrant instead of getting arrested. Of course the cop would want his identity as hidden from his clients as possible.
how can a retired officer still do something?!?!?
in my country and industry, the day we leave the company we have to give up our access card and our log in data gets banned/deleted/blocked EVERYWHERE. also our company mail becomes inaccessible.
He retired as soon as he got caught.
"You don't a criminal lawyer, you want a CRIMINAL lawyer" lol
If I had a dollar for every time I have thought of or used that gem. The wisdom of Mr. Pinkman.
Imagine following the due process of law. Hingeless behaviour.
hope this isn't a case where they say since the cop retired, the case is closed, no charges can be brought forward.
It’s beyond that point already. Retirement only ends internal investigations. Criminal charges, as are being pursued here, won’t end with retirement.
I think he spoke pure truth when he said " turning yourself in sucks" ..hahaha
Living in Calgary this doesn’t surprise me and btw the video was very interesting :)
people shouldn’t have their life hosed because they miss a court date. a warrant on your record is AWFUL
Gotta ❤ LOVE "smarter than the average BEAR" comment ala Yogi + Boo Boo.....GREAT SHOW as always! Shout out from Toronto!!!
Spare change ... in the petty cash bucket. What's the problem? Tony Soprano's crew ... doing overtime at the popo shop.
“Retiring from the force” should not be a
“Get out of jail, free” card
Is a student at law just someone in law school?
And can do traffic tickets?
I googled it. Seems like it is a sort of apprentice year after law school in Canada and before taking the bar exam. They can do a lot of what a licensed attorney can do.
Articling - year after grad
A student at law is someone who is undergoing their articles with a lawyer qualified to do so.
Words I never want spoken about me: “We have a person that deals with everything about him.”
Hope Mrs. Runkle is feeling better 🤞🤍
You should do a video on the cop having their rifle stolen from their car in Angus Ontario.
Yea I live up the street, for some reason there's nothing really reported on it
I was waiting for the money to come into it, lol. These two weren't doing this for their health. What a screwball leaving the cash at work - in a police station? Thank heaven there were decent cops who put a stop to this skulduggery. Looking forward to more on this. Have a nice Sunday. Hope the missus is recovering. Love from Chicagoland.
what safer place to store your il-gotten lucre
I'm reminded of that quote from Terry Pratchett in Men at arms where they induct a new member in to the watch and they get told don't put anything valuable in your locker there's too many coppers around.
Oopsie. If that library is run like mine, the browser history is gone. As a matter of patron privacy, the system is restored to its default state every time someone logs out from it, erasing anything they've downloaded, any changes they've made, etc. But the library router will probably have logged the traffic, including what specific requests were made to search engines and the like. Given a search warrant, that information should be recoverable. It would be more difficult if the library computer could be used to access a VPN or other anonymizing relay, which gets into the realm of "how savvy was the proto-lawyer about these things?"
It's almost unfathomable that a public use computer would not have a previous state reset like Deep Freeze but you're right about traffic logs. I can't imagine the computer let's users download programs
They can also do memory forensics on the computer or subpoena the sites he used. The search history may not be visible on the router though due to HTTPS. Also a vpn wouldn’t help unless it was something no logs. A lot of vpns claim to be no logs but aren’t. The memory forensics thing wouldn’t work if it was using some super anonymous/private OS that saves everything in RAM.
@@klaykid117it would log your search history.
@@klaykid117 I wouldn't be surprised if a public-access computer allowed people to download programs, to their own media -- say, to later install or run on their own systems. Letting people download and run unknown software on the library computer would be a different matter.
Google Kelm. She has a history of misrepresenting herself as a lawyer. How did she become a student at law?
You’re great Ian; keep up the great work!!👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦🇨🇦
Now see, in the US, if they found $80,000 in someone's locker, the police would seize it and claim civil asset forfeiture. This might be the only time I'd support that.
Hell they will freeze your bank account for waving a Canadian flag in the capital city. So yeah that money is gone.
Does civil forfeiture apply if the $80k already "belongs" to another bent cop?
@@jonathanj8303 I think it does, because the whole reason for CAF (supposedly - we all know it's just greed) is to stop the person who has the money from benefitting if they are ill-gotten gains.
As far as seeing what she searched for on the library computer - that depends on how the library handles their public computers. I use a library computer every day, but when I sign off of the computer, part of that process is that the computer reloads a "master image" of what the computer and it's memory should be from the server, so any changes or updates (or searches) I did will be wiped clean. That's done so that the next person to use the computer will have a "fresh" computer and memory, but it also means that they won't be able to tell what the preceding person did on it - any traces of what the preceding user did on the computer would be gone.
Now, every library doesn't necessarily do that - it's just the way the library I use does it. But it's pretty standard procedure for any place that has computers available to the public to do something similar, so the chances of getting anything from the computer she used are probably somewhere between slim and none.
Saul Goodman could get you out of any situation or knew of someone who could. Kim Wexler was hot A/F!
You have rights!
Thanks, Ian 👍
Have they thought of running for the Liberals? They could have a future there.
7:54 "Most people would take out an [auto] loan"--while true, it's very sad that we've normalized loan-culture over just the last few decades, to the point where that can be said so flatly. Loan availability drives prices, prices drive loans, and it's been feeding itself.
I live in Manitoba.. our police seize stolen goods and auction them for profit... what's that called?
'Spicey' enters the legal lexicon ..
Thanks Ian. This sounds like something worth following.
Yes please cover all you can!!
Isn’t this really obvious? What were they thinking.
Good. Thanks.
Definitely a convenient service!
Thanks!
Very interesting! Can’t wait for the update!
Found you from the LTM dammit janet storyline, but I’m a proud subscriber!! I’m a recovering attorney from Chicago. All I had to hear was “John Marshall” and I knew that story was going to be a mess.
Miss Smart is possibly not living up to the name. 🤔
We love ''SPICY'' .
What can a man do when the bank itself steal thousands of dollars from your bank account.
Being well aware that we are still in a Trudeau era…😔
Even going as far then applying a minimum payment on your credit card while in fact you made thousands of dollars on a payment that was only 400$,but the thousands of dollars just disappeared.???????
Many time!
Great breakdown as usual Ian. Suggestion for a video, the upcoming Flipper Zero ban to combat car theft.
Where do lawyers work after they lose their law license. I'd go get my Masters, PhD or some other degree while trying to get my license back.
Thanks Runkle
In the US its moderately common for an officer under investigation by IA to retire to avoid charges. IA generally stops investigating after the cop leaves the force either by retiring or quitting leading to a gypsy cop problem.If the investigation included criminal charges the DA may still investigate but unless its felony level( or a civil suit) its generally put on a back burner or dropped altogether.
Thanks for the giggle Runkle! Oh dear....
Mr Smart, unfortuneate last name.
And "I'll put you through to the person who handles ALL the Nadia Kelm enquiries"
Geesh! This is going to be a good one!
May be retired with pension
You find the spicy cases! And I am not surprised….☺️
I bet he could roll his hair up to resemble the wigs that barristers wear!😊
Maybe we should send him some hair curlers and a curling iron?
Sorta like when you roll up in a ball when a bright light shines on you?
@@flightographist
Me? Is that some sort of insult?
If so, I don't get it.😊
I’m glad this isn’t over yet, because the world’s worst game show has to be during a livestream
In the US, warrants are often an extortion thing to hold over your head, you pay your ticket and bother the office ladies until they confirm you're clear.
And remember: $80,000 was HIS cut.
Bank accounts get frozen all the time.
Thanks Ian i find it educational❤
Thx Ian ❣️
Ian , I appreciate your videos they are better than what Hollywood can make today, and YOUR stories are real
.....maybe I missed somethin , I asked before very important about when you carry firearms in a car especially restricted ones
and you answer in all videos , is : do not answer to cops . call a lawyer
I do NOT have a lawyer like maybe 99% of the public here , why do I need a lawyer
so HOW I can call a lawyer , on the road , pulled over with stress even the infraction (slide on a STOP for example ) have nothing to do with ?
sorry for my English , French part here .
Not a lawyer. From what i was told, they can't look into your trunk if you don't consent to the search. However, if they have a warrant or actual reasonable suspicions to tie you to a crime, or actually arrest you for a crime when you were in your car, they can. The "don't talk to cops" is strictly to not incriminate yourself since they'll(law enforcement) use anything that can be used against you. If you don't have a lawyer, "legal aid" would be the solution since its a government-funded / subsidized legal services available. However, conditions apply. We don't have defence lawyers from start to finish like in the states
Maybe before anything happens, meet an attorney so you can call that attorney if you should ever need one.
Just looked up the law society website, the learning centre is very cosmopolitan in it's representatives shall we say.
Very interesting!
Yay! A local scandal! :D
🤔 This is very ……… convenient.
Hey, law nerds, i need clarification. So how were these two benefiting from this? Were they giving the lawyer money for the warrents that the lawyer never handed over? But what is the role of the cop for this? Did these ppl even have a warrant? If not, how did they convince the ppl they did without the ppl going to check? I'm confused😂
This is speculation on my part. The police officer with his capacity to file an arrest report pursuant to a warrant was filing an arrest report even without meeting many of the subjects of the criminal investigation.
What I think happened is the officer was looking through records of open warrants and having the conspirator student at law approach these people on the street and offer to expunge the arrest warrant for a fee. When the fee is paid to the "lawyer" some of that money is sent to the police officer who uses their access to records to report an arrest. The police officer was probably receiving funds if there was $80k in cash in their police locker at their police office where they were a police officer. Without any follow up there wouldn't be a new court date set and the case would be more or less lost to noise.
This looks like a shake down by a POS cop and a shady AF student at law
Glad I'm not the only one that doesn't follow how these two were benefiting from this scam lol. I've read many articles and listen to this video and can't really figure it out lol.
ok but what confuses me is the investigators have talk to some of the people who the warrants were for and it doesn't sound like that's what happened, they don't seem to have a clue what is going on, they just say Kelm what their lawyer for traffic court, it doesn't sound like thry even paid her in some cases lol. Also, how much are you going to extort on a Traffic warrant, which it sounds like all they were. @@timothybayliss6680
Interesting
Cheers
New video! Thanks
Is there some irony in the fact that the accused name is smart and it doesn't sound like what he did was very smart?
That said, if he's retired, his employer can't touch him. He'll get to keep collecting any pension, they can't suspend him in any way. There is no longer an employer/employee relationship. If he is charged with a crime, the police department can treat him the same way they would treat any member of the general public in relation to that. But if he had the ability to retire, that was a smart move.
This crime seems like the amazing set up to a thriller, romcom action movie.
ooooh this is a spicy one, lookin' forward to hearing about future developments and past hijinx from these two...
You said there is no locker you would trust $80K in, even in a Police Station. It struck me that isn't it in an evidence locker right now?
Most of it. Probably.
Likely deposited
In Edmonton there is a full building dedicated to evidence.
Halifax has a big problem with cops stealing from evidence lockers. They do nothing about it.
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Lol, hiding it from his wife

Warrants???
Failure to attend court is an arrestable offence for *some* traffic tickets. Many result in a conviction in absence (no show = conviction) but those that require a court appearance by the accused can result in an arrest warrant being issued (often called a bench warrant).
Watched it twice and I still don't understand the mechanics of the scam. Ok so . . .Crooked cop says the guy with a warrant comes up to him on the street. What happens next? They are supposedly released? Supposedly go to jail? Supposedly something else?? What role does the female Student at law play? She's "representing " the criminal? Where do we think the 80k comes from?
This was a service and all services, illicit or otherwise, cost money. If staying out of custody for possibly weeks means keeping your job, it would definitely be worth it for some people to pay up. That said, there were only 25 unusual warrant interactions found and $80k divided by 25 seems steep, so I bet the cop had at least one other scheme running.
Same here. Is an officer allowed to simply swear they met (faux "arrested") and then released someone on their own recognizance, thereby making the warrant "served"? I thought there was a whole booking process at the station.
There’s a few ways it could run. The most likely, based on my time as a cop before becoming a defence lawyer, would be for Kelm to hear of warrants (either from clients or the cop) and to charge the client a fee to deal with the warrant. Police officers can, for many arrest warrants, release an accused person on paperwork without the person seeing a judge/justice of the peace.
Kelm gets paid for dealing with the warrant, cop gets paid for releasing people who may otherwise have had to face a bail hearing.
@@chad.haggerty I had no idea officers could do this, thanks!
@@chad.haggerty paid by who? The people wanted on the warrants? They have talked to some of them and they don't seem to have a clue what the investigators are talking about, they said they have no idea who the cop was and the student of law was like a legal aid person they talk to about their tickets, I just don't understand the money part of this scam at all.
Replay crew 😊
You wander why someone in Canada wouldn't trust a bank... ;) LOL
replay crew...hi Ian
This sounds like an episode from a bad TV cop show... I don't know how they thought it wouldn't be discovered I really want to know what's on the phone and what other cases she has against her... Also is student lawyer like a law student doing internship or externship in the states?
Ian, probably a silly question to you, but what's your take on modern media and accessibility of who is accused of things, who is charged.
The older I get, the more I am concerned about people getting crucified in the media, and problems with not getting fair trails.
I'd like to see you do a video, about what the pros and cons of this in the real world, especially with the advent of "viral" news.
Could you do the Brecken Peters Case of Salmon Arm, BC?
I’m sure it’s coincidence but the Lawyer Look-Up no longer includes student look-up
Does AB have a police corruption problem?
"Good cops"??? I wouldn't hold your breath on that.
Had to dig to find that bar. Good cops were the ones that actually did the job they were hired to do.
Very interesting but doesn't surprise me.
Hey Ian. Good video. Interesting watch.
So, question: When will you be doing more on my friend and your's, Federal Civil "I don't want to tell the court where I live", Swatter Janet? (Oh, the hypocrisy of Swatting and doxing someone then misleading the court as to your own residency ). I personally hope she pays for that, especially since she confessed to it in her own filing!
Also, have you found any updates or info on the SSSniperwolf v Sausage lawsuit? Naming the two parties together like that by their usernames makes it sound like an adult film title.
Anyway, cheers!
What province are you in?
Canada isn't a real place. 🤙🥃 😁
If retired before charges
he getschis pension ?????
Probably. The Police Service can try to go after it but the union will argue for him keeping it. End of the day, likely stay with him.
@@chad.haggerty yes that is what I thought. Otherwise he wouldn't done it
at least in my country. you can´t buy a car with cash. because that kind of money in cash. would make IRS. starting to invest you for money laundry. I am not shure you would be able to pick up your visa card and pay for the car. with out a lot of papperwork to prove that the money is legit.
Also can you do a video on Jonathan Dennis
Juicey
Maybe i'm dumb but I don't understand the end game of what they were doing, what were they getting out of falsifying thse records and how does money come into play here? It doesn't sound like they were demanding money from anyone for these warrants, the investigators talked to some of the people the warrants were for and they seem clueless to the situation except that the student of law help them out.in court. Also, how much would you make shaking people down on traffic warrants? I mean they usually just have to pay the ticket to clear the matter up so unless it's a huge ticket, traffic warrants doesn't see like much of a racket lol
Question 🙋♀️🙋♀️I tried to look up the difference between a Student at Law and a Lawyer and it wasn't coming up? Can someone explain please? Is this an Alberta this? (I'm in Ontario) I doubt it's something that specific but I'm just covering my butt😅😶
A student of law has finished school and is articling at a law firm.
@@melissaermantrout8038 ahhhh ok, thx!
What's a "student-at-law"? Someone training to become a lawyer, or what's referred to as a paralegal in the US?
Students-at-Law are those who have completed law school but have not yet completed a mandatory period of training under the guidance of a lawyer approved to guide/train the student. This period is also called the Articling period and Students at law are often called articling students.
Law students are those still in law school. Paralegals are not regulated in Alberta, Canada but are generally either (1) assistants with some training that provide service to lawyers and are part of a firm or (2). those that can act as agent in limited situations for accused person (generally ticket offences).
Regarding cash in a locker: I suspect there are a few people with connections to a bunch of Canadian trucks that would have been happy to have some cash in their work locker. Still *highly* suspect, but...
$80,000 in cash to buy a truck? Right 🙄 You're not doing anything over $2500 to $3000 in cash in the US or Canada with a legitimate business without a report going straight to the IRS or the taxing body for the Crown
A large cash transaction report must be submitted to FINTRAC when a reporting entity receives $10,000 or more in cash in the course of a single transaction, or when it receives two or more cash amounts totalling $10,000 or more made within 24 consecutive hours by or on behalf of the same person or entity.
@@chad.haggerty I have to do the report at $2500 (it was $3000) for USPS. We get people coming into our small office to buy money orders all the time trying to get around it. They'll get money orders up to $2400 at one of the offices in the bigger cities then drive out to rural areas thinking they can get another $2400 in money orders. I'll get all their info to go start them & they get shocked when I come back with the form & tell them it has to be filled it out for anything $100 or more.
once again i liked the video -- a shout out to the police for investigating ?? -OK , lol , your to nice to the police i am a little more savage -- like a criminal lawyer has to point out the fact the police are doing there jobs? lol -- your a funny man.
