Police State

Deb Read's Response to request to present to the NRSP Board:     

 In consultation with the Board Chair and Board Vice-Chair, your request to make a presentation is declined because the Board has no legislative jurisdiction over operational policing matters.

As outlined in my earlier email, delegations must be with respect to a matter that is within the Board's jurisdiction. The Police Services Act restricts the Police Services Board from directing the Chief of Police with respect to specific operational decisions or with respect to the day-to-day operation of the Police Service. In addition, the Police Services Act - Part V, Complaints and Disciplinary Proceedings, Public Complaints made to the Independent Police Review Director outlines a process for the public to lodge a complaint related to the policies of or service provided by the Police Service, or about the conduct of a Police Officer. Further information can be found at http://www.oiprd.on.ca/
Therefore, the Police Services Board cannot receive a delegation if the subject matter relates to a complaint or specific operational decisions, which would include those items listed in your talking points, namely "police report issues", "non response to reported serious criminal activities", "police involvement in citizen abuse", and in the absence of any specific details may include the other points listed as well.
The decision to decline the presentation is in keeping with the framework of the Police Services Act.
If you would like to address a matter related to a police conduct, operations or criminal activities, please contact the Niagara Regional Police Service for an appropriate response.

Dear Deb Read,

Thank you so much for pointing out what the NRSP Board doesn’t do.

Would you please point to the area in the ‘Police services act that permits the NRSP to turn a blind eye to municipal crimes, or withholding of police reports or even unlawfully serving municipal abuse of innocent civilians.

Please explain how the Police Services Acts prevents your feckless Civilian Oversight Board from raising questions in the face of police corruption and criminal activities! Does the 'Police Services Act' compel anyone including the NRSP Board members to 'See Something - Do Nothing'?

Perhaps the population was misinformed when the supposed Civilian oversight Board was foisted up us under the guise that a Civilian oversight board would magically inhibit bad behavior of the police!

It would appear that the reverse is true.

According to your negative response to News Alert Niagara's request to bring before the Board serious police problems you have clearly indicated that we have little or no oversight of the NRSP!

It would be a welcome treat if you gave us the actual valuable oversight of what the so-called Civilian oversight board actually does in their effort to hold the NRSP accountable.

It seems that the so-called Civilian oversight board is actually shielding the NRSP from public criticism!

Obviously, it follows that anyone confronted with conduct such as that of the NRSP would do everything possible to conceal their activities.

Concealing and deliberately overlooking tips of serious criminal activity conducted by municipalities is contemptuous if not serious corruption in itself! 

Police deliberately breaking the law in order to facilitate municipal crime and/or corruption is also contemptuous and a serious crime onto itself! https://newsalertniagara.blogspot.com/2021/02/who-authorized-destruction.html

Ms. Read, I won’t waste my effort telling you the disappointment I hold for your so-call NRSP Civilian oversight Board because a corrupt and unlawful police force has no place in polite society! Police must always be under civilian oversight and control!

It’s called a police state!

The only thing sadder than a police state is a government that embraces it!                                                  Preston Haskell, Editor, News Alert Niagara

The Presentation which you summarily dismissed is posted below:

Number of Presenters (one)

My name is Preston Haskell, editor; News Alert Niagara (NAN)

NAN has over 470K Page views of over 500 articles 905-650-6305

1.    Folks, I have put myself forward to do what an octogenarian should never have to do. Its with heavy heart and concern for my chosen neighborhood of Niagara that I am compelled to bring forth findings of offensive conduct in our police service.

2.    Paramount is the concern that our Chief of police is being deprived of critical information.

3.    Folks, can you imagine getting a response to ‘See Something - Say Something’ when reporting very serious crimes; crimes that carry long prison sentences, to this police service only to be told to take complaint elsewhere (OIPRD)

4.    Question: How does reporting a Crime become a complaint?

5.    Should a Citizen have to hear, ‘Do you have an incident number for your crime report?’ Really?

6.    Denial of Police reports!?

7.    The other claim reads ‘To Serve and Protect’!

8.    The mounting question is ‘To Serve and Protect’ WHO or WHOM?

9.    If this police service does not apply LAW evenly and fairly it is not a legitimate police service! After all, the law not only must be fair and just but it has to be seen to be fair and just!

10.                       Not only does this police service not enforce the law fairly and evenly it refuses to even respond to inquiries of reported serious criminal activities. 

11.                       This police department actually contravenes the law in their effort to protect municipal criminal activity of Citizen abuse! ???

12.                       Conclusion…

Official Public Persecution

Predicated on our March 16, 2023 expose` of Niagara Regional Secret Police (NRSP) and the equally feckless NRSP Board involved in selective application of Law, News Alert Niagara harkens back to NRSP conduct of actually assisting in the municipal persecution of Mr. RayDesmarais.

Yet, here we are witnessing the March 23, 2023 Police Services Board Meeting concluding without even a mention of News Alert Niagara's 'See Something - Say Something' regarding serious criminal activity or a requested response from NRSP Chief  Bryon MacCulloch or even that he was ever apprised of our concerns. 

Apparently we labor under false expectations!

Again, the feckless NRSP Board spent an inordinate amount of time unanimously spending another $20K of other people's money!

The Civilian oversight board of the NRSP has no Civilians!

News Alert Niagara is calling out the NRSP for their ignorance in their lack of proper follow up regarding reported serious crime! 

The NRSP conduct has opened our eyes like a clear sky brings stars into sharp focus. Suddenly, so many sad situations have been made clear and the municipal persecution of Mr. RayDesmarais  takes on a whole new dimension. 

Obviously, the conduct of a police force willing to shield government from accountability is also willing to do the bidding of a rogue government and their agencies when they retaliate against anyone they consider their foe.

Mr. Ray Desmarais became the foe of the Fort Erie Municipal Regime and the target of sordid persecution predicated of Mr. Desmarais' coming to the defense of a fellow resident under attack in sordid effort to steal the fellow resident's property!

Evidence of official police misconduct was on full display when the NRSP illegally drove several squad cars onto the rear of private property by circumventing the privacy gate. Their excuse for illegally breaching private property is 'preserving the peace'. That excuse goes out the window when they stood by and watched as one of the demolition workers physically attacked Mr. Desmarais knocking him to the ground while the so-called 'preserving the peace' officers did nothing! The gang that invaded the Desmarais property to steal, destroy and remove everything the man owned including his tools of his trade, did so during official lockdown. They even stole his lawnmower!

To answer the question as to how we came to the conclusion that the Town of Fort Erie vengefully targeted Mr. Desmarais we discovered in our interview that Mr. Desmarais has binders full of his filed and returned correspondence, including the regime's failure to respond to a Cease and Desist Order, clearly indicating that the municipal regime was only interested destroying Mr. Desmarais. 

It gets Worse!

It caught our attention that after illegally trespassing and failing to do their duty to keep the peace, the police blocked all communication with Mr. Desmarais even going so far as to return his registered letter that he sent desperately trying to get himself heard. 

It is said that silence is Golden. In the case of the NRSP silence costs $177Millions Dollars plus a 2023 bonus of 5.7% = $10Million for a police department that fails to clean up its own crime and corruption!

We're from the world of stinkers and we're here to TAX you into poverty!

Now we come to the morbid bit; the part where a citizen turns to find relief from tyranny: to the courts thinking that finally justice will prevail.

Its at the courts where you find yourself in the center of a circular firing squad! 

In Mr. Desmarais' case, he found himself facing the injustice of a legal entity hell bent on doing the municipality's bidding not unlike the NRSP!

After removing everything Mr. Desmarais had including even his lawnmower and his tools of his trade leaving him unable to earn a living

Now the esteemed legal system has made expensive demands. He tried to find help from dozens of firms looking for legal assistance. The courts ran him around at his expense only to cancel without notice for an over 1 hour drive (46km) only to be told "Cancelled without notice"!

They stole his livelihood and expect he can afford their demands then try to silence him with squalid legalize!

Hi Raymond,

Can you advise if you plan to file your materials by no later than MARCH 15, 2023?

I spoke with the court and they have advised that if you do not serve and file your responding materials before the March 15th deadline,  then our motion will be converted to an unopposed basket motion where the Judge will review our materials and up to his discretion, could grant us the relief sought out in our motion.

Perusing Mr. Desmarais mountain of material and recordings points to a serious miscarriage of justice, official public persecution caused by a circle of corrupt deviants and paints our society in a very unfavorable light.

A fully funded empire apparently no longer giving full value!

Why was I sitting there? The only spectator in the in the public gallery of the February23, 2023 Niagara Regional Police Service Board witnessing a Service Board Member repeatedly attempting to get a straight answer from the Police Chief while other Board Members sat in feckless silence waiting their opportunity to spend other people’s money!

Perhaps, with a properly functioning Police Service Board, this article would not be necessary. MORE

Suddenly I was accosted by an individual wanting to know my name as if attending a public meeting negates anonymity! She said she recognized my name as a reporter. When she tried to leave, I explained the reason I was there was because I was trying to report a crime and that as a matter of fact my constant attempts at reporting a Crime, a very serious crime, a crime that strikes at the very heart of our society and that my ‘See something – Say Something’ was being ignored! With that, she claimed that she would bring my concern to the police chief. 

As of the posting of this story we have received nothing of the promised notification from the Chief of the NRPS!

If you are reading this March 16, 2023 report it is because News Alert Niagara has been unable to get a response from the NRP regarding our attempt to 'See something-Say something' about Crime and Corruption!

.

Listening to the drone of the police chief desperately attempting to avoid the service board member's questions, I thought of the first time I attended the NRPS Board meeting. 

At that time, June 2014, I made a presentation to the police board regarding the attempted murder of Photographer Micheal Farkas at the hands of a criminal minded police officer. https://newsalertniagara.blogspot.com/2014/06/charges-dropped-photographer-sues-police.html

.

Up until recently I had always thought of police actions as incidents, not as a systemic problem.

.

Suspicion started to set in when I asked for the police report regarding the illegal theft of my equipment by the Niagara Regional Government! Why would our NRP withhold my police report? Surely it wasn’t just to protect bureaucracy from a charge of criminal mischief, defending the hand that feeds them. Could that be what they mean by ‘To Protect and Serve’? https://newsalertniagara.blogspot.com/2022/12/criminal-mischief-under-color-of-law.html

Not this time! This time it was a question of ‘Serve and Protect’ - WHO? 

This time it was the direct conduct of the NRP that brought me to the NRPS Board looking for answers as to why ‘See Something – Say Something’ was so clearly being avoided in favour of Bureaucrats; Bureaucrats that possibly have the power of the purse; The power to finance or not to finance the rapidly expanding NRPS Empire; a fully funded empire apparently no longer giving full value!

The sentiment espoused here is the result of failed attempts of ‘See Something -Say Something’ regarding criminal activity perpetrated by those we have elected and/or hired.

The ‘See Something’ that we reported over a period of several months, was the specter of interfering and intercepting emails sent from Citizens to the elected officials!

Recipients of emails can ignore the message, read the message, delete without reading or if the recipient is physic and/or knows it all, can block the sender!

However, emails between Citizens and their elected officials is a matter of concern ONLY to those involved! Anyone who uses their authority to interfere with emails to elected officials also has the temerity to interfere with anyone’s email and that is why there is a severe monetary penalty including a prison term of up to 5  years!

Our written report to the NRPS

I am writing requesting am explanation to a bewildering set of contradictions.

The phrase 'See Something Say Something' apparently does not apply if the thing one sees is unlawful activity perpetrated by civil authority!

I did say something when I saw what I considered unlawful activity being perpetrated by civil authorities!

I Complained about obstruction of justice under the Criminal code 'The offence of obstructing justice requires a wilful attempt by an accused, in any manner, to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice. The sentence is imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years if proceeded with by Indictment.'

https://newsalertniagara.blogspot.com/2022/12/criminal-mischief-under-color-of-law.html

I complained about interference and interception of emails intended for our elected officials under the Criminal Code (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46)

This is what we received from NRP:

Who was the Lady who said the Law is an Ass

So there you have it!

Years of so called 'Conservation Authorities' abusing there power to subjugate innocent property owners over every little thing they could dream up as exposed by News Alert Niagara 

 https://newsalertniagara.blogspot.com/2018/11/a-study-in-elected-corruption-update-8.html

Years of miserable 'Justice of the Peace' pontificating their opinion that innocent Citizens should face fines of $50K or even more for such earth shattering offenses such as building a horse exorcise ring near a questionable so-called wetland only to have an equally unqualified premier negate the whole ridiculous exorcize ranging from the ludicrous to the disgusting by demanding his right to build housing on the so-called protected wetland and to hell with those who suffered under the wealth-wasting thumb of 'Conservation Authorities'!

Hundreds of millions of dollars gone up in smoke agonizing over wetlands and the destruction of innocent Canadian Citizens who lost their property rights for naught!

Fear of Failure

What does it look like? How does it manifest itself? How to defeat it?

My latest read is a little book of thoughts written by Author Timm Friesen.

The book title is ‘Seducing your Potential’. Apparently, the book is the authors first attempt.

As I perused his pages, I envisioned a one furrow plow turning over page after page extolling the reader to seduce their potential or in other words subjugate their fear of failure.

To paraphrase one of the many interesting passages in Author Timm Friesen’s book; “it’s the person in the mirror that is standing in your way”

That makes two recent reads assailing my senses about the  courage it takes to put yourself out there, to speak up, to speak out, bear your soul to the world seduce your potential and
conquer your fear of failure!

The second book of courage titled ‘Forever’ by first time author Chandra Furney writing her memoir of a very disturbing subject. The subtitle says it all in finite detail; “A love story. An arrest. Heartache. A small town scandal and a journey of self-discovery”  is her raw personal tell all book laying her soul bare!

No doubt there are many more Niagara authored books extolling courage and the courage of the Author but obviously they are either not well promoted or were written before the advent of Facebook.

News Alert Niagara is interested in any other Niagara Authors whose story illustrates courage!

Comments or messages below are welcome

I'm alright, Jack; I've got mine!

Since not one (1) of our elected officials made comment regarding the costly abuse and neglect of St. Paul Street, the main business street  of St.Catharines, Ontario, it stands to reason that expensive neglect is the continuing order of the day!

It Gets Worse! A former St. Catharines Councilor- now a Regional Councilor actually Blocked the Public message titled 'Because I Care' leaving News Alert Niagara to believe that this supposed concerned councilor is not only uncaring but unwilling to learn or even to hear about the plight of his city! 

https://newsalertniagara.blogspot.com/2023/01/because-i-care.html 

List of Major Wealth Creating Revenue Generating Entities whimpering whimps lost to the City of St. Catharines without so much as a whimper!

Anthes Eastern

Columbus McKinnon

Eaton Yale and Town

Hays Dana

General Motors

Foster Wheeler

Ferranti Packard

Not to mention the heart and soul of the city's main street 

Watching the five hour January 22 St. Catharines City Council meeting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9K2XJN_XuAy you will learn that without the sale of our transit system your City Taxes comes to an increase of 13%!

But don't worry they'll get you next year!

.

Try Watching the 3.5 hour January 26 Regional Council meeting where you will find a proposed tax increase of 10% plus an increase in water rates of 8.5%! https://www.youtube.com/embed/TrU57tXN7B4?rel=0&autoplay=1

Perhaps our fearless leaders think an apparent proposed 25% Tax increase will solve poverty?!?

https://www.facebook.com/covenanthousetoronto/videos/814017969891853

Now do you see the value in retaining revenue generating Commerce and industry? 

  And who was the tax-burning whimp that failed us without the slightest whimper during the diminution of our wealth-creator, revenue generator losses?

Why it was none other than Little Jimmie 'Dolittle' Bradley the now Premier Ford's acclaimed Chair of the Niagara Regime where he continues to ply his
devastating schemes!

What could be expected from an unmitigated progressive Liberal who hates free speech, considers oversight and scrutiny unnecessary and bothersome, condones obstruction of justice and even harbors stolen property!
