The RCMP never were charged, even though they should have been.

Lost pretty well all respect for the RCMP after that, absolutely disgraceful/corrupt conduct for supposed law enforcement. I am guessing one of the biggest coverup of lies and corruption in the RCMP history.....and not one of them charged.

It doesn't prove they are all rotten but someone with the authority to make the call was... and of course all the cover up that followed. IMO

Eventually, we are supposed to grow up to be men. The excuse "he told me to do it" - doesn't fly at the big boys table.
Bosses asking for something illegal or unethical is why toolboxes have wheels.

The fact that the force didn't deal with the rotten apples tainted the entire barrel.

Not easy when the problem starts outside the RCMP with Mr. Goodale and his predecessors.
The Conservatives had the opportunity and dropped the ball.

Was the media maybe talking about the charges laid against some home owners for things like "grow ops" and "possession of prohibited items"?
Anybody find a link yet?

The top level RCMP brass had the opportunity to clean up their own house, but they chose to do nothing. All organizations have bad apples, but how that organization chooses to deal with them determines whether the entire organization is good or bad.

There was audio and video of the corruption. All levels had to be aware of what went on there, their choice to ignore it makes them scum. When you think of the amount of RCMP that were involved and the amount of BS that went on and not one RCMP was honest enough to come forward, that confirms the RCMP are rotten to the core. I can not trust anyone in this organization after that.

This. Exactly. When a man remains silent in the knowledge of wrongdoing, he participates in the wrongdoing. Principle supersedes rank and orders.
The coverup that followed was a greater transgression than merely an abandonment of principle - it was criminal.
Yes, the organization is corrupt, from top to bottom. The top is populated by the truly corrupt, while the rank and file is populated by cowards and those who have abandoned the edict to "Maintiens le Droit".
The RCMP need to be sluiced out right from Depot - the home of the truly psychotic bullies, and creators of our National Goon Squad - down the smallest three man detachment in Gopherhole Sask. That will never happen as long as we keep electing invertebrates to Parliament Hill.
As an organization it is no longer worthy of respect, and considering the Forces noble history, that is a damn shame.

It is a shame, and that respect is going to be very, very difficult, if impossible, to regain.
The RCMP is accountable to absolutely no one, and that is the problem.

its kind of amusing to see so many upset by this but those who were affected by the gun seizure didnt care enough to join a class action law suit.
The article stated NO ONE else came forward to join the law suit...
It seems the vocal minority created outrage where there was none.

Perhaps people figured that they wouldn't live long enough to ever collect anything anyways. The RCMP could likely keep this in the courts for many years, and then how do you prove that they damaged your firearms when they illegally seized them, and tossed them into a boat? And even if the suit was won, who would pay, the taxpayers would pay. Now if the suit was against the individual officers, and winning could financially destroy them, there might be more interest. But even then, the RCMP would likely pay with our tax money.

To join a class action law suit doesnt require much. All someone had to do was call the lawyer who was proposing it. Even if it went no where why wouldnt you join it? Its minimal time investment and you would at least be standing up for your rights.
Instead those affected decided to whine online while choosing to do nothing to stand up for themselves.

It comes down to this: who among you wants his name black listed with the horsemen? I was there and have a family member who was there in emergency services. Those guys are not someone most people want to mess with.

So one should live the life of a coward? Forget about your rights?
Its rather peculiar no one else came forward to join the law suit.

The lawsuit would not hold any one accountable, which is what people really want.
