That is an amazing story! Not the least because everyone recognized the
high-handed behavior of the "peace officers" involved. Most of the time, in
my experience, they prevail regardless. I expect that the officers involved
counted on using their positions - and false reports - to protect them. My
respect for Canadian justice went up quite a few notches after reading the
appellate record.

Thanks for posting this.
