If successful with the lawsuit I hope the money comes directly from the pockets and off the salaries of the officers and others responsible. Sadly I suspect we will end up paying for this mistake while the RCMP pleads for increased government funding.

I suppose it was inevitable. Everyone likes to sue. This should make things interesting.

If the RCMP had nothing to hide why would they fight the report and delay for so long?
I wonder how the falsifying of flight records are going to pan out for them..

The police above all others should know the laws of the land.What ever happened to "ignorance of the law is no excuse".Someone needs to be charged to prevent future illeagle acts by individual members.I know several RCMP members and do not know any bad ones,but obviously there are some out there who dont know the laws or choose to ignore them.

It depends if they sue the RCMP as an organization, or if the individual officers involved are the only ones named... I would say that doing the latter would be more prudent... Might actually get more names coughed up to lessen the blow on themselves...

It won't be the officers at fault , it will be the one who gave them the order

Yes it matters who gave the order, But they as individuals swore to up hold the law.

Greatest thread in a looooooooong time, fishgunner is banned, it appears there is a slight silver lining to the High River fiasco.
Bring on the class action suits, get some of those lying, law breaking RCMP into court, and then watch the "blue wall" start to crumble.

Hey agents
I am in agreement here that RCMP overstepped their boundaries. Absolutely illegal search and seizure and they should be held responsible.
What I can't I agree with is the comparison of the orders in High River to the orders to the subordinates involved in Nuremberg. I think that is a real stretch.

Finally, a more honest and realistic report from a national newspaper:

Good on the Globe and Mail for standing up to the whining idiots that THINK they know it all!!!

So the Globe calls Harper opportunistic, but they are just reporting?? No hypocrisy there. And the Globe knows more from Toronto than the posters on here who lived in the town?? No hypocrisy there. The Globe is better informed than the Complaint Commission?? Wrong!!So Harper did the correct thing & righted an obvious wrong, which the impartial commission confirmed!! BTW, once the illegally confiscated firearms were returned to their rightful owners, were there any crimes committed with the guns. Of course not!!!
