This happens with every drug bust ever. It's not a one-off, it's how police operate.
So, stealing is normal and acceptable among cops?
In big cities
@@TylerLithgow Small towns too.

@@KP-xi4bj its acceptable to steal from drugdealers. Money ain't got no owners. only spenders. It's all in the game yo, it's all in the game
Canadian police don't want body cams gee I wonder why ?
Calgary police killed my cousin on an invalid no knock warrant (31 year old female, alone and naked in her bed, nothing illegal found) and body cams sure would’ve been great to understand how she ended up with all that trauma on the ground of that apartment complex 👍🏼
The RCMP are crown assets. The Queen is dead. Facts matter.
The same reason teachers don’t want cameras in their classrooms
Thugs/Goons with uniforms badges and Guns =Police .
What does it matter? American police just shut their cameras off when they commit a crime.
Same diff
The police investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong, imagine that .
Now imagine the ex Chief of the Drug Stealers is gonna run for Mayor hes gonna be stealing more than just drug money from everyone! that's rite Mike saunders running lmao
I guess surviving in Toronto is so difficult that even the police have to steal.
Lol
I was thinking the same thing.
@Jeremy Presland are u fking kidding me. This happens everywhere in the world 🤦🏻♂️
lol toronto cops get paid so well
The police are the real criminals.
If you want to break the law in Canada and avoid a criminal record . Become a cop or politician or judge .
Thank you.
Just commit the crime We don't prosecute criminals either.
Same with America or any corrupt country
Oh Ty I’ll look into that
yup
Additional training to teach them not to steal!! Priceless!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Lol
You don't teach honesty!
yo mama agree??
That's what happens when human laws are respected and not gods
Attorney Kim Schofield, great job! Thank you!
She’s a liar
@@billsawyer7796found the bootlicker that got schooled by a defense lawyer lol
She'll be harassed and or worse
@@mikeyjacob4654 she's one of the best criminal defense lawyers in Canada, with a well established record of wins. She's probably used to it.
The lawyer is misrepresenting the "leaky roof" issues in the judiciary / with our insurance system here - reprehensible omission.
Absolutely nothing will happen to these cops. Our tax dollars were used to defend these cops, shameful !
Lol the client aka drug dealer. Yet the cops bagging a few bugs even though their paid well ya shady. But not as shameful as the client.
@@brandondunn726 So it's ok for cops to be crooked and steal, that should be allowed and the reasoning is that drug dealers are worse? When the difference between the police and the mafia is that the government supports one publicly you have no police at all, just two organized crime groups.
Stop complaining for gods sake. Jesus Christ.
@@brandondunn726 the dealer didn't swear to uphold the law. so the cop is just as bad, but id say a little worst
Suspended with pay
Is this a surprise to anyone ?
Canadians need more lawyers like this one, excellent work.
dont forget, she is defending the drug dealer…
@Marty McFly The problem with folks like you is the failure to understand the dangerous precedent that is set when the law and due process are only applied selectively. This being brought to light isn't showing the defense of drug dealers rather the corruption and selfish profiting of those very individuals given the power and authority to uphold the law. Drug dealing is bad but apparently not bad enough for these "heroes" to avoid pocketing the proceeds from it.
@@martymcfly3986 expected better from you,Mcfly
you ok ,not even the the same stacks ,different color elastics.
The line re the judicial / legal sector 'working' is deliberately miseading - the issues flow from the lawyers / judges / crowns who approve bad behaviour.
The implication that there "is no leaky roof" is anti-public safety, and an egregious mis-statement.
Should also go for politicians that they cannot investigate themselves. Trudeau/liberals investigating himself/ themselves is unacceptable.
You seriously need help.
@J F who said anybody's talking? smart mouth!
@@nonyabiz3874 nobody asked.
@UA-cam music okay. We aren’t insulting liberals which has nothing to do with a police investigation.
Lmao. How about we investigate ACTUAL CONservative fraud YOU can see. Auto insurance in Alberta is 6x HIGHER than Saskatchewan. Jason Kenney was also caught (potentially in contravention of election laws) promising car dealers a host of anti-Alberta consumer laws like dismantling the WCB changes, banning RHD cars, and removing consumer protection, in exchange for donating money to a UCP super-pac. Here's the dealerships that offered up cash to him:
Gateway Motors
Lexus of Calgary
Subaru City
Sundance Mazda
Xtown Motors
Then there's the CONservatives who voted against accident depreciation compensation. If ur car loses $15000 in an accident, Cons made it LEGAL to steal from u. This has resulted in a MULTI TRILLION DOLLAR THEFT OF CONSUMER MONEY OVER THE LAST 100 years across North America
"We investigated ourselves and nothing to see here" - Corrupted Officer
Sounds like Trudeau too
You mean the system DOESN'T work? SHOCKING.
"The process" deliberately doesn't work. It is all about CONTROL . But still better than the fifties.
This has been happening for decades. It's no surprise for me
Neither is it a surprise to me!
works hand in hand with "self Regulating" the biggest Canadian farce....
Canada is turning into a third world country more and more each year. You see many characteristics of third world countries here now -- like corruption, sharp spike in violent crime, etc.
You sound like you have never been to a third world country.
I agree with you. We are getting like those American inner-cities where the movie "training day" was made.
Surprised? Honest judge is rare.
They took an oath to be honest.
But your right.🤣
This doesn’t mean her client is innocent, it means we have two guilty parties.
I would like to see the Court's decision on the drug dealers, and the cop thieves.
Worded perfectly!
@Jim that’s not how it works. They don’t plant evidence they took it after the fact. The moron drug dealers are still in possession of coke etc
Yes, and both.. got away with it..
The cops sullied the case by stealing money from an investigation. It's called tapering with evidence.
I've always assumed that all police do this everytime there's a bust involving money.
🤭right?🤨
haha ya, id expect it and support it....or at least get a percentage...
@@tysonkopeck6946 helll no give it back to the town
Corrupt not surprised
Paid leave for the accused.
She’s doing the most high’s work. She needs to be protected at all times.
❤️
getting drug dealers off in court is the work of the most high you might be mostly high
@@adamwonder9607 maybe if the ones trusted to do the right thing and not tamper with evidence then the charges would stick . plus cops are greasy anyways , if they cant get you with food on you then they'll bring there own
@@adamwonder9607 It’s not her fault that those in charge of keeping civilians accountable are the ones that needed to be held accountable.
When money is involve there's no such thing as trustworthy person. The real question is: Do you allow temptation to overtake your reason?
Now the ex Chief of the Drug Stealers is gonna run for Mayor hes gonna be stealing more than just drug money from everyone!
I was once watching a legal drama (can't remember which one) there is a scene where a woman is talking to a lawyer about a crime she is being accused of and is afraid to talk to the lawyer because she does not want to incriminate herself and the lawyer simply said "You have to tell me everything that happened or I can't help you I am your lawyer not the police, my job is to protect you from the police" Sooooooooooooo true.
..unless it's an unethical lawyer who actually works to protect police's best interest..like so many "defense lawyers" do 🤨
@@SolversSocietyHQ Yes, but YOUR lawyer's job is to protect you from them. Of course the police have their own lawyers.
Doesn’t surprise me.
Corrupt cops, gasp 🙄.
Ya corrupt cops stealing from those tax paying drug dealers lmao
@@jimmyoryan2257 the cops were involved with the coke era 80/90s you were able to bribe them easily and if you were selling coke that was nothing the money you could bribe them with look up Jonny mitchel he exposes the corruption
I know right? Absolutely mind blown...... 😒 lol
NOOOOOOO never....
CRA find out how many police officers use cash while shopping for stuff and it will surprise Canadian
lol how are they going to find that out??
That’s a different level of pettiness. How you make over 100k in salary and stealing 6k…
Yes, actually "more" was stolen because it was going to be tax free.
6k here, 8k there... get it?
Well, that was only one time it's quite possible.The thief was stealing many times per year
when criminals get away with something enough times, they start to get greedy and lazy. i only wonder how many times these cops did this before they were caught.
They're encouraged to do this stuff by their Senior level offs ..that way nobody can Rat anyone out without incriminating themselves
My my..auto type is getting naughty🥺
That's right! Same applies to Trudeau investigating himself. See the pattern in our society?
Sick
Okay…
Dough Ford giving his rich conservative donors access to land. Highway 413
Getting a kickback when he sits on a corporate board.
Conservative voters are obtuse.
I am so glad that the judge ruled and seen this for what it is. So many dirty cops out there. Think of how many time that this has happened in the past. This police need to face consequences.
Now the ex Chief of the Drug Stealers is gonna run for Mayor hes gonna be stealing more than just drug money from everyone!
Really let's keep it 💯 seriously even if the cops took some of the money wt does it even matter it was a drug bust for exchanging illegal sustenance for money so the person that's involved will not be getting the money bck anyway so what's the problem fr 🤷
How about lawyers investigating lawyers? We don't have a justice system anymore we have a legal system(as said in this video )that benefits lawyers, judges and the insane.
I agree! Where is the proof that police stole anything? Just look at here! Does she look like someone you can trust
Bingo - you nailed it - the implication that the CJC / OJC / LSO (et al) aren't a part of LawPro's "special benefits" programmes - to undermine the safety / rights of the public, is deliberately misleading from such an astute lawyer.
What judge approved that warrant? How come no review of that misconduct? Will this person be reimbursed (including penalty)? etc?
Well according to her the legal system works lol lawyers are just as greasy 🤣.
Actually one lawyer won't go against other, it's an insider rule.
Isn’t this supposed to be new news not old news?
How is they have 3/4 million dollar homes and 1/4 of million dollar boats ?
No way they work that much overtime 😂
Over 50% of the police force in my city have 6 figure incomes without overtime.
Yup. Then 150 dollars an hour for things such as funeral duties or stopping traffic for when churches/mosks etc. let out
THIS WHOLE COUNTRY IS BROKEN
This happens way more than we are lead to believe..
daily
"And in today's special lesson I have to tell you, that you are not allowed to steal the drug money. Remember that!"
"We don't need a independent unit to control the police in those cases, because this lesson is much more effective."
The ability to steal is why they joined the police. I don't know why there is not a deterrent to this? ... the public has to pay a price for theft, but not the cops. WTF??
Todays lesson. Don’t deal drugs: okay class so don’t deal drugs:
Class: okay!!
*the end*
@UA-cam music shut up ur multiple reply clown
@UA-cam music lmao what would u like me to do about it goof?
@@jimmyoryan2257wrong lesson bub.
Criminals on both sides of the law getting away with criminal activity 💩🚨
How many times did the police do this before they got caught !
Alot
fringe benefits....part of the package....
Did the police investigate themselves with a special rapatoure? Lol
Someone I know who used to deal drugs but put that behind him and was running a legit business was pulled over by the cops. They found 5k cash on him and pocketed it for themselves. It happens ALL THE TIME!
Same thing happened to a friend of mine it was $2500
Canada doesn't have civil forfeiture.
@@NoSpam1891 The Civil Forfeiture Act became law in 2006
there sticking it to a family here in manitoba that won the lotto saying drug money was used to buy the ticket
@@ericlasalle5470 Ridiculous.
Smart lawyer
It happens all the time
Criminals know this
I've heard of cops raiding bars where drug dealers hung out, thugs told to put, drugs, money and weapons on the table and GTFO. Guess where the guns and drugs end up..back on the street. The money magically disappears.
@@D33Lux lMao cap
Would have been 6 cops a g each. My buddy years ago had an amount in a safe. 5 grand was lost in the raid... 5 cops raided
Sounds about right
On the bright side, at least Canadian cops aren't as greedy as some American cops.
They usually go for the biggest pay out. 😅
@@alt5z Civil asset forfeiture. If you're caught with thousands of dollars in cash in America it gets seized. They tell you, "you can go to court to claim that its yours and proof of where the money came from." State police get only some of their money from tax payers, the rest comes from seizures. Regardless of what anyone says, cops have quotas to fill so their department don't lose money.
😂😂😂😂lol😂. Trust who ??? Serving who?? Protect 😂
It is not new They have a bad habit of doing it.
Body Cams for all Police with consequences for misuse
you'd like to believe this doesn't occur as often as it does
If you trust the police, you're a total fool 😩🤣
KIm is an excellent lawyer.
Why? Because she got two scumbag drug dealers free?
Disgraceful! Happens more often than we hear of. Fire him, charge him and publish his name, he has lost credibility and his past arrests should all be re-examined.
For stealing drug money? Lol
@@jimmyoryan2257 If it was your drug money that he stole you would be just as passionate as I am, lol, not saying it was my drug money.
Credibility and being held accountable.. if you commit crime, cop or no cop.. you should be prosecuted.
Every officer involved with the handling of the exhibits for this file should be suspended until a full independent investigation has been completed.
NEVER gonna happen "qualified immunity" government is the biggest mafia on earth.
And the investigation will conclude 6k went missing…. From a drug dealer who cares. If ur not a complete scumbag selling drugs then you have no issue
@@jimmyoryan2257 it's about to be legal anyways. they literally started making cocaine in canada. government funded
Easy , they should have had the rcmp do the investigation , all the money would have gone missing
they get charged with theft over $5000?
The whole "we will investigate ourselves " is a joke... talking to you Mr Unhonorable PM !
They do this constantly. Happened to a friend of mine years ago that got busted with weed. They took a couple of pounds of weed from him. He had to sit there in court and here a lesser about then what he got busted with and when he looked over at them they smiled at him. He could have said he ha d more weed then what was declared but that would have added more to his sentence. Sticky finger criminal cops ain't nothing new.
Ur buddy got off on less time… how is this a bad thing?
I don’t believe you
@@jimmyoryan2257 not saying it was bad for him.
@UA-cam music u can’t comprehend what was stolen and from who. But ur not working with a full deck of cards. Like I said those cops took that money and put it towards constructive activity
@@jimmyoryan2257I don’t want cops stealing anything, it means they can be corrupted or bribed easily because they are dishonest.
‘Hey, just take this money and don’t mind the sex trafficking I’m doing over here. You can even have a girl, pick your age.’
I totally agree they need body cameras to conduct a search
they need active body cameras to be on through out there shift....
You have to send a message across Canada police forces once and for all no matter your position in the force. You break the law like every Canadian citizen you will be 1.Fired, 2. Have a criminal charge against you 3. Go to jail. "YOU DO THE CRIME, YOU DO THE TIME:" This includes lawyers, judges, politicians & especially Civil servants.
simmer down karen
everyone has to eat
Yes, but they think they are above the law. There will be more of this type of stuff.
With the cost of living in Toronto, everyone steals if the opportunity presents itself... every drug bust, there is something missing for sure... that's human nature.
The police take money from the off-to-work crowd, with marginal speeding tickets. It happened to me.
I guess the officers don't have names, otherwise they would have covered them in this story.
No wonder Canada is one of the three amigos. The saying fits perfectly. “Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are”
Of course no idea what cops took this money?
We investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong
Find those cops and charge and fire them!!!!!!
That "evidence" should get as much credibility as body language analysis.
Orange coveralls for all of them please
Lol, this is common practice in drug bust raids. when my cousin's home got raided, they took all the cash in his safety box - 70k and never filed it in the report when they went to court. drug raids are the easiest way to pocket the money
Well he didnt earn it anyways, so no harm no foul
LoL this happens so often with much more cash!
Wonder if that os the only and the last time 😂😂😂😂
i was busted in 2002 with 3 ounces and when sergeant came in to question me they charged me with 26 grams and charges were dropped in court
Police investigate police
Government investigate government. What a joke
Toronto police just can't seem to stay out of trouble
Probably the cops from my downtown area
$6k and that's it? He is a saint compared with some of our top politicians stealing from tax slaves.
If the police were fired, their new job would be in Vegas, as " Magicians"
Or Liberal MPs
Thugs gonna get paid.
👏 to the lawyer
😡 to the police
I got busted before for pot and I had one quarter pound of stuff and 2 ounces of another. They only charged me with the quart pound. The 2 ounces?? Nowhere to be found.
BAAAHAAHA just like bill Blair
Canadian serve and protect😛
Not surprising
Cops sure do need their baking soda.
I have personally caught cops stealing from peoples homes. When I called in to report it , they said they can take whatever they want if they consider it not right or suspicious. I never let the police on my property. Or have any verbal contact with them anymore.
Snitch.
You are correct. Cops cannot be trusted.
Normally, I'd never support stealing, but this was from a drug dealer surrounded by drugs he was selling. So, I couldn't possibly care less. That dealer put lives at risk, so to hell with his money or rights.
so.... did he get ALL of his money back ??????
Are you joking?
The money was from drug profits, chances are the guys in prison. What's being investigated isn't a crime against an innocent person that had their money stolen from them, its the fact police took money that was supposed to be put in the evidence department for when the legal case takes place.
Cost of inflation and rent got the Toronto cops stealing $ 😂😂😂
Roll the trailer for Denzel Washingtons Training Day or how about prosecuting the thieving cops.
So staying the charges against the accused to protect the police from what may be brought up in court seems like denying them a fair trial too. I don't think the "judicial" system is working properly either if they won't prosecute a drug dealer to protect the criminal thieving cops. That's just letting 7 criminals go to reoffend likely.
Not surprised
Why are you not mentioning Schofield's name in the headline or description? Not very nice of you. She didn't have to give you such a clear and concise piece for your files.
Toronto is truly Mogadishu North. From the daily shootings and murders to corrupt stealing police! Couldn't happen to a better city! Keep it up!
The Toronto Police force has gotten internally rotton. They should be ashamed of themselves. The Police should be sued by the public for not upholding the laws.
If the department does not investigate anything, that means pretty much everyone is doing it,
Wasn't a bigger cause involving Italian police just dismissed as well?
Nothing to see here, folks. Same ole, same ole. This happens all the time
Common knowledge that cops have been doing this for years. Watched documentaries where former police have admitted to this
So we're just taking the word of someone who defends criminals for a living?
The whole point is that the judge was not just taking the word of either of the lawyers.
Kinda like when the federal government investigates itself🤔.
Absolutely every cop. Lol, I have so many stories.
Toronto officers stole over 2k from my dead uncles wallet
Superb job to the attorney 🇨🇦 fighting/exposing the rcmp 👊
Wow corrupt police 👮 who new 😂😂everyone.
lmao all I see when that news anchor comes on is Mike Tyson calling him a POS
