Here's one about a mother and daughter who were arrested due to a "computer glitch" about a "stolen car:"

We do not have these rights in Canada?. Yes we do.

"The police can approach you and ask you questions but they must let you go on your way, unless they arrest you or they have grounds to detain you.

The police have the right to detain you if they are investigating a crime and they have a "reasonable suspicion" that you are connected to the crime. They also have the right to detain you at a "roadblock" if they are following up on a report that, a short time before, someone saw people nearby with handguns.

If the police think you might have committed a crime, you should tell them who you are. But, in most cases, you do not have to answer any questions. You can tell the police that you do not want to say anything until you speak to a lawyer.

However, if you have been in a car accident, the police might ask you for information that they require for an accident report. If you do not answer their questions, you could be charged with an offence.

Anything you say to the police might be used as evidence against you in court. The only statements that cannot be used against you are those, like an accident report, which you must make by law. Even something you said before you were arrested, or while you were in the police car, could be used against you. This is true even for a statement you have not signed.

But, if the police have detained or arrested you, they should stop questioning you as soon as you ask for a lawyer. Just say, "I want to speak to a lawyer." You do not have to say anything else. If the police continue to question you, do not say anything. Just ask again to speak to a lawyer.

In Ontario, Legal Aid pays lawyers known as "duty counsel" to provide free legal advice, 24 hours a day. Ask the police for the toll-free telephone number for duty counsel. Or contact a lawyer you know.

In most cases, a lawyer will advise you not to talk to the police. This is usually the best advice. If you do choose to talk to the police, keep in mind that giving false information can be a criminal offence. And if you lie to the police, the fact that you lied might be used as evidence against you.

If you try to stop other people from cooperating with the police, you could be charged with obstructing justice or obstructing the police.

Once you have spoken to a lawyer, the police may continue to ask you questions. Even if you say that you do not want to answer, they can continue to ask. However, you have the right to remain silent and do not have to answer."

This may be true in Alberta and the rest of Canada, but I am in Quebec, and we are a Distinct Society according to Mr. Harper. This "Distinctness" permits a whole new set of rules and rights, notwithstanding those of the rest of Canada, MY COUNTRY. I don't know why. Well, that's not true but it is a matter for another time and forum.

Good Lord man. You can't say that! It is politically à gauche. Even the Die Hard Separatists would take offence. France pah!

What I saw was a "know-it-all" kid who acted suspiciously with his responses to the officer, and had I been the officer, I would have been alerted to someone who had something to hide as well. That "Constitutional rights" stuff usually comes out of people with things to hide. If a person rolls the window down as asked, the entire stop is usually ended within a few moments or minutes. As for the asking of an ID...where I live you are required to carry a valid ID and present it when asked, even randomly, and if you don't, you can be detained, taken to the station and held until an ID is made through the computer system. I have no objection...I am not hiding anything. The kid might have been within rights, but he got exactly what he asked for with his disrespectful attitude. I don't advocate taking crap from cops, but the cop wasn't disrespectful when he made the stop. The kid pushed for it. I have no sympathy for the kid.

Croce Loc: Earth

Sure the kid should have jumped to and allowed the police and the dogs and all to tear his car apart right? I mean he must have been hiding something right? After all only guilty people assert their rights huh? Guilt by assertion of right. Sure, the kid was hiding behind his rights? Right? You make me sick.

This attitude and mode of operation helps make it possible for cops like these to exist.

How very sad. I only gave my opinion. I respected yours. I still do. We simply differ in how we see it. I do not feel the need to berate you, or disrespect you. I do not understand your rage at a difference of interpretation. May I point out, no dogs search, or search or further words would have occurred if the boy had simply rolled down the window nicely when asked? But, I was not there and I have no idea what was said or done off-camera so perhaps, I am wrong. But from what I did see and hear, I formed my opinion. So sad you would blow out over someone not sharing your own opinion. :-(

You know what they say. Opinions are like **s h***s...
Sometimes a good description helps...

Interesting clarification, but we ares till at odds about it. The part of pension funds paid by the institution is really deferred pay. Depriving a person of this is the equivalent of fining him hundreds of thousands of dollars, considering the appreciation of the funds over the years. Depriving anyone of life, liberty, or property without due course of law is a violation of the Fifth Amendment.

I don't know for sure what technical language or statute covers contributions by the public employer. I imagine it varies from entity to entity. Having said that and to clearly state I absolutely agree with NOT violating the constitution in response to punishing those who do I propose deferred pay is forfeited by statute and employment agreements when the person is removed from duty for flagrantly and with malice violating a citizen's constitutional rights or other defined abuse of authority. I am not trying to pound a cop who inadvertently errors but only the goons with "I'm the law' ego trips who violate the rights of a citizen or other resident within US territory. The constitution doesn't limit it's protection to citizens only. I know some wish it did but it doesn't and shouldn't be the case.

In the case of this video at least one cop clearly indicted himself with his own words. He knew he was violating the rights of his victim of roadside piracy and terror. This bastard needs to be booted off the force in shame and held personally liable.
