So I'm still being persecuted by a police officer of the VPD.
the story is here.
And I'll be updating it with more details soon, because I'm pissed off.
This fucker is actually going to try and lie his way through this to cover his ass.
And it looks like the surveillance video is being made to secretly disappear.
It bothers me a lot. Because I don't have time or energy to deal with all this fucking bullshit.
And that's what's the big problem here. Time and harassment.
Because this pressure tactic is being used all over Canada
Truth is regularly cast away to make harassment of targeted demographics institutionalized in nature. It's regularly used to silence people, including numerous activists for poverty and human rights.
It's a good way to shut people up, while they look for food, a place to sleep, talk to lawyers, use bus tickets they can't afford, waste time when they could be trying to get themselves moving in life. Can we even call it life? Perhaps its just survival.
I get beat up for maintaining my human right to live without harassment,
and someone with a badge can perjure themselves on numerous points in the case presented the judge, and I don't get a say. I don't even get 2 cents worth.
I have to wait 6 months to get heard.
And during that whole time I'm a target for reprisals by police.
What really galls me is that since Police officers are human, they can be discriminatory, apply law unfairly and unequally, even commit crime, and then lie. And when they're caught they get a slap on the wrist and practically never pay out compensation to the victims.
We live in the new surveillance society.
Police and governments are pushing for it all the time.
It makes their job easier.
So let's start with them first.
Maybe it will make them more trustworthy.
We have reality shows all over TV with little cameras and recorders on people.
Instead of Tasers, we need to have personal camera's and recording devices on every officer.
Unable to be switched off, constantly running, in their car, during coffee, during every incident.
From the time an officer reports for work to the time they leave for home there should be an unbroken recorded record of their audio and the video of what they are doing, a teeny camera and mic strapped to the shoulder of every officer, uniformed or not. Constantly on.
It's really the only way that a corrupt or lying officer will get caught, outside of a sting by their internal review board.
Trust would go up, if the actual incidents could always be viewed from each officers viewpoint, without personal colorization.
No selective interviewing of witnesses, discarding statements and notes of ones who aren't conducive to the slant they are injecting into an incident.
You could even put it inside the badge. If the badge can't see the "criminal" then the badge isn't visible, is it?
It would cause a lot of problems at first, sure, people would get caught in the act,
but maybe those are the ones we should be catching anyways, with yearly reviews and assessments. Which obviously aren't catching the liars and violently aggressive ones.
I guess I have to go though.
3 sets of sirens just stopped outside the front street of where I'm typing this, while I help a friend backup her computer.
I'll probably become one of Canada's very own "disappeared"
Who'll care eh? Homeless people in Canada are probably worth even less than missing prostitutes. Regardless of who they are and what they've done....
