High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

My organization has given preliminary approval for generative AI being used for initial transcription of audio, to then be verified by a human ear. That will likely be vastly more efficient. My unit has some fantastic civilian transcribers for our file disclosure. The general rule of thumb is one minute of audio is ten minutes of work- and that’s when done by properly equipped pros. It’s a great example of a task that can and should be done by violin support staff and not cops, although it’s fair to expect an officer to do a final review of their own audio against a transcript for court purposes.

It can be tough for us because we do large crown disclosures with potentially many dozens of statements, and often they want transcripts for all of them rather than summaries/will-says. New technology is gonna be great for this task. Hopefully we can start throwing AI at redaction/vetting as well.

That’s HUGE. That’s a good use of the technology. Man in twenty years when we start our five year pilot on something you’ve been doing since tomorrow it’s going to be something.

Surely they must be doing this if only required for a Crown Brief. I can't imagine every road warrior reviewing every recorded moment of previous shifts.


The public doesn't realize how astonishingly time consuming and resource intensive this single aspect of a criminal investigation is. In days gone by, hours and hours of typists transcribing every 'um' and 'ah', and hours and hours of proof-reading the transcript against the tape. Everybody thinks once the charges are laid its all done except the wrap-up party.

I can't speak to what calls they have to do this for, I'm not a police officer, just a fire inspector. We have our own special hell of paperwork to do.

Similar to my last posting; Crown Briefs that were often denoted in volumes (I've seen an search warrant ITO fill a banker's box)

Long before the current tech advancements, but even back then one challenge was convincing the bean counters that any kind of tech or new way of doing things doesn't always equal fewer staff (either cops or support), and sometimes it means more, somewhere.

Having a room full of typists/transcribers may seem anachronistic to many, but here we are. Presenting a body of evidence that is intended to restrict someone's rights requires a high level of accuracy and court confidence, and the tech is nowhere near there yet.

Corruption concerns within VicPD to be investigated by Delta, Surrey police​


The Victoria and Esquimalt Police Board has tasked Delta and Surrey police departments with investigating corruption concerns within the Victoria Police Department.

The board’s governance committee announced its decision at a public meeting on Tuesday evening.


“We take (this complaint) very seriously. I can’t emphasize that enough,” governance committee chair Paul Faoro said at the meeting.

Former board member and retired human rights lawyer Paul Schachter triggered the investigation on Feb. 16 when he f(opens in a new tab)iled a Police Act complaint against VicPD(opens in a new tab),(opens in a new tab) which is in the throes of a corruption controversy.

I'm thinking that if you are suspended for allegedly stealing a watch from a deceased person, and providing the deceased's credit cards to an acquaintance who used them to buy cars that you ran through police databases, that at that point you probably shouldn't do anything like, oh, try to smuggle 250 Cuban cigars into the country.

Paul Ste Marie of the RCMP should buy some lottery tickets. Absolute discharge for assaulting someone in handcuffs today, and charges of manslaughter dropped last Friday.

From the articles:
Lo said the incident that led to the assault began the previous day when Ste-Marie spotted a Jeep that was linked with a homicide in the Lower Mainland. The vehicle fled when the officer turned on his lights to pursue, but Ste-Marie gave up the chase for safety reasons.

The next day, the Jeep was flagged again and Ste-Marie was one of the officers involved in the chase. His vehicle was struck by the fleeing Jeep and Lo said Ste-Marie struck his head on the steering wheel.

The prosecutor said Ste-Marie ended up pursuing one of the Jeep's occupants on foot, which is when he heard gunshots being exchanged between another of the suspects and police.

"Const. Ste-Marie was fearful for his life," Lo told the court.

The assault happened as Ste-Marie was asking Chahal to acknowledge his arrest for attempting to flee police.

"At the time of the assault, Mr. Chahal was in police custody and posed no threat to anybody," Lo said.

"He was under complete control of the police, physically restrained and could not defend himself."

I am not the biggest fan of police, but I can understand being rammed and the opening of gun fire changes things.

Saulnier said Pollanen's report concluded Culver died of cardiac arrest brought on by sustained use of methamphetamines and the struggle with police "contributed to or exacerbated his conditions."

Again, I am not the biggest fan of the police; but "sustained us of methamphetamines" is going to F you up. And trying to blame police, because you were interacting with them, when your heart finally gives way is a stretch.
