cap Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 This is 'the new era' and effort to enlist minorities, that's all. Lawyers will straighten all that out in court over the years. The minute a Member's eyesight is called into question and they start to recite the statistics on the failures, Crown Attorneys will get very 'antsy' and nervous. The laser surgery is great, BUT it does not work 100% of the time. Defense lawyers look for such eveidence and statistics for their cases. Should the case be lost because of that Member's vision being brought up, then those acceptance Rules will change. They wanted female Members to be treated and accepted like anyone else, UNTIL a female member was recently on patrol by herself. Stopped a car and ended up sticking her head in through the open driver's window.....power window goes up.....head caught .......and female member stripped and raped. Policy now: male members are allowed on patrol alone, but not female members. Female member considering the possibility of suing the 'perp' and the RCMP for allowing her to be put into that situation. Circumstances usually straighten-out stupidity and dumb decisions. I know half a dozen lawyers that would just love to bring a policeman's vision into any kind of question, at anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRanger Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Where the he11 did you hear that cap.....recently??!! That''s got to be one of the oldest male chauvinist RCMP member stories on the block. Let me know where in the policy books to find that one about female members riding alone. I''ll believe it when I see it by''. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
