Highly curious!
Not to start a controversy BUT some already have in regards to Manjeets the politician who was killed in a car accident last winter.
I went by the search are yesterday and find it very suspicious that a 20 man tactical team of RCMP would be employed in the search for items said to be glasses and a watch?
Could it be that regards to the fact that so many police were used that something of the restricted or prohibited nature was lost and ONLY the police were allowed to handle this ?
IMO one or perhaps two squad cars with a highway crew could have been used unless the items were not for the eyes of the public?
I have never heard of this before ? have any of you ?
Who knows what to believe anymore ? Very curious to say the least!

I'm highly curious of what it is you are implying, or where your going with this. This is a fatality inquire and I would think that now that the snow has melted the authorities want to make sure that no evidence of any kind has been overlooked. Naturally you don't want the general public contamanating the scene, till area has been completly searched. I would think that this is standard policy, and I wouldn't read to much into it.

Well I read a lot into this, closing highway, tactical teams, they are looking for something and I don't believe it was personal in nature, but, this story will go nowhere in the media Even though it should.

RCMP K division spokes person was on the news earlier this week and said it had nothing the do with the accident itself and they were only looking for personal items to return to the family
Sounds to me like a misuse of resources if she was telling the truth

I fear a "tin foil hat" may not suffice and you may have to go straight to this.....

Really? How do you know that? If that's true it ads even more to a frankly weird story.

By all accounts he was a good man who's nature was to help others, which is how he got killed. It doesn't seem unreasonable for his family to want to look for some of his belongings.

I am sympathetic to Mr. Bhullar's family for their loss and I hope they find some closure. Finding symbols of his faith may help with that.
This search is not something tax payers should be paying for.

Good grief...paranoia is alive and well on AO.
Maybe they're looking for the secret documents proving the CIA's involvement in blowing up the twin towers.

A member asks a question and you want to ridicule posters, it is only you who mentioned the CIA and the twin towers, nobody else

It wasn't a fatality inquiry or a crime scene, they were lookin for his glasses and his watch, and his shoe.

In uniform ? Something fishy, especially since some items weren't recovered. Gotta wonder if they disappeared between there and final disposition, which raises other questions.

I think the main item they are looking for is his Kara.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kara_(Sikhism)
And I'm glad the RCMP did what they did. The accident happened in the meridian and for the safety of his family and the safety of those on the road this makes sense. Also this man gave his life while assisting another human in need and this makes him a hero and worthy of this effort.

That would be flooded with thousand of people if they allow volunteer or might be doing it out of respect to the man at least he did something for the province.Whats next audit every politician to account for their time for attending his funeral.

Yup
Regarding his Kara, That would make sense, and seems like announcing it as such would make sense as well.

All I said was that taxpayers should not be paying for the search. And that I suspect they are.
Did not say anything to take away from Mr. Bhullar or his accomplishments.
I also said nothing about anyone who attended his funeral.
I don't understand your comments.

If folks worried more about all the things they did wrong and less about other people, the world would be a better place.

Manmeet Bhullar highway search called a success
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...tems-1.3499470
The father of an Alberta politician who died following a highway crash last November says an RCMP search of the median has turned up his son's missing watch and eyeglasses.
But Baljinder Bhullar says some of his son's other personal effects including his kara a bracelet worn by Sikhs is still missing along with his cufflinks and shoes.

This could be a good opportunity for you to take, to do that.
Odd how we always know what others should do to make the world a better place.

There is no doubt that the man was a fine person ! and respect should be given because of this loosing ones life ,attempting to help someone in need! A hero NOT but a good citizen with values ,and an unlucky one to boot!
And by posting about this NOTHING was to infer that there was anything done by him that was illegal ! But I,m afraid it will be a LONG time before we see such
a search by the cops again ! PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!
Seems like a lot of thin skinned members on here !

Then what are trying to imply on your post. Why not some of those politician are being paid by the taxpayer and they are attending a funeral. Taxpayer are already paying for the legal fees for the corrupt politician to defend themselves. Don't be naive on where taxpayers money are being spent unless....

Lots of really good folks do work for free, volunteering to look for items that give a good family some closure I believe would be a really good reason to do something that you are trained to do for free. Just a good Canadian thing to do.

From what I got out of the interview was that the search area was in the median..safety FIRST so they deployed members to search rather than civilians..could have used Search and Rescue..but it's all okay IMHO ..carry on

His name was Manmeet.
He was a sitting member of the Alberta Legislature.
He was a genuinely nice person and died trying to help others.
You could at least have a shred of respect for the guy.

I don't think anyone showed any disrespect towards him, unless a post was deleted.

I'm going with the OP here. An observational adult that notices when events just look a little off works for me. The very vigilance cops ask us to use with regards to public safety, drunk driving, car prowling, home prowling, etc.
