Canada Not So Progressive After All
30 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
If you're a true crime fan, and you want to watch something to truly make your blood boil, this is the one to watch. You do need to stick with it, as the extent of the police department's, if not the entire Canadian government's, corruption doesn't really come into clear and undeniable focus until the final episode. This is a true story, so I don't know if the spoiler rule applies here, but the civil liberties violations against this poor man led to the government - supposedly anyway - putting an end to this practice of basically threatening people into false confessions. The creep cops in this true story actually posed as mobsters who had just killed someone, and threatened their suspect that if he didn't tell them something they could "hold over him"... well, you can guess the rest. I hope he wins his multi-million dollar lawsuit, especially since not a single, crooked cop in the story has ever been disciplined in any way. You give police unlimited power to arrest the person they want to arrest, even though the victim's husband was a fairly big time drug dealer in a crime-ridden city (Home to a violent motorcycle gang called ' satan's specials" I believe), where there were many suspects, and cases like these are inevitable.
