Toronto police: What is the role of the police in an ideal society? Protect people and their assets? Or maybe catch the criminals and reduce the crime rate? What about stealing cash and that too from crime scenes?
Don’t be surprised. The Canadian police force is actually doing it.
Toronto police stole about $6,000 in cash seized from a Weston Road apartment.
When Toronto police raided an apartment, they discovered $19,390 and a half-kilogram of cocaine. Later, it was reported that approximately $6,000 had vanished between the time the contraband was seized at the flat and when it arrived at the police station.
The principal money handler testified that he did nothing illegal other than make a few clerical mistakes when processing the cash, and prosecutors countered that the defence was incorrect to allege that cops stole any money.

The judge accepted that “roughly $6,000” was missing despite being unable to specify how much was missing specifically. He did this based on “a visual comparison” of the photos.

According to the Toronto police description of the seized denominations, the defense’s attempts to reproduce the bundles with their own money were likewise considered strong proof of missing funds by the judge.
The amount concerned is much too high for it to have been accidentally misplaced, according to Schreck.
By comparing images of the massive stacks of cash at the flat that broke down into smaller bundles once they were transferred to the police station, lawyers claimed that the policemen themselves exposed the robbery.
This incident clearly shows the sorry state of Toronto Police.
