RE: Complaint against a Peel police officer at 12 Division who’s name is unknown at this time, process began Dec. 7/06.
Dear Sirs: May 31, 2007
On June 7th., 2006 I was falsely arrested for Cause Disturbance and Assault X2 by the Peel police resulting from false statements made by City of Mississauga security guards. I was taken to 12 Div., and held over night after booking. While at that station I was put in a room alone to speak to a duty counsel who refused to forward any message to my family as to what had happened to me. He did inform me that I was allowed reasonable use of the phone after arrest, not just one call as the police claimed. Upon leaving the room I spoke to the only Peel police officer in the room, a female, short and dark skinned I believe, informing her of the fact I was allowed more than one phone call and my failure to contact my family. She refused to allow any more calls knowing that the lawyer I had just spoke to had refused to preform a necessary duty. She also refused me the right to call other lawyers I knew. She also refused to Investigate by contacting the duty counsel I had spoke to in order to confirm what is going on. The above can also be considered Unnecessary Exercise of Authority.
As a direct result of her actions was my family members did not know of where I was and that they would need to be in Court to bail me out the next day, so I was sent to prison because of her failure to do her duty in up-holding my rights. As this is a political case, the fact she withheld such a simple service and that she would know its results - no bail - this must be seen as a willful & deliberate effort to jail a man who would not otherwise be sent to prison. As it was done to a known political opponent of the Mayor Hazel McCallion in an election year it is clearly a political action in favour of the Mayor Hazel McCallion. Her Discreditable Conduct is also about her Discrimination toward a poor man {social status} who is a well known environmental community leader. The service she granted & withheld - Neglect of Duty - are totally unacceptable and bias in favor of the City of Mississauga and its politicians - which should also be seen as a Political activity.

And as they can be seen as granting a favor to City politicians and that favors are often returned, City politicians are in a position to grant the Peel police many favors they would not otherwise get, this matter then becomes a Corrupt Practice.
Her actions are at least an offense according to the below noted Acts and statements and there are likely more reasons they are;
