Brickbat: Fancy Meeting You Here

Edmonton Police Service Constable Hunter Robinz has pleaded guilty to one count of breach of trust. Robinz repeatedly made sexual advances to female crime victims he met through his work, sending them sexual messages and even showing up at the home of at least one of the women.

The illustration shows a formation of Royal Canadian Mounted Police - the national law enforcement agency roughly equivalent to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation. This story is about an Edmonton Police Constable who is unlikely to be an RCMP agent, even under contract. But carry on camping, Charles.

Talk about your Dudley Do-Wrong, eh?

Mounties gotta mount! He was just looking for a mount, to mount!

[Chumby]

He always wanted to be a mountie.

I thought the preferred term was 'welfare check'?

Can someone translate what actually took place for this dumb American?

I’m picturing some woman complaining that valuables were stolen from off her dresser, the guy politely asked if he could check her unmentionables drawer for evidence, apologizing beforehand, but not afterward and the lack of a final apology constituting a sexual advance.

I freely admit that’s almost certainly not what happened, but “one count of breach of trust for sexual advance*s*” doesn’t translate into English.

Edit: Three other charges against Robinz — sexual assault, unauthorized use of a computer database, and a second count of breach of trust — were stayed by the Crown.

Finally! Some plainly understandable Goddamned English.

Wait... how the fuck isn't *that* The Brickbat? WTF is wrong with this magazine?

The story behind the story... an overzealous prosecutor who enjoys prosecutorial immunity or... something like that in Canadia.

I'm pretty sure I've seen video footage of ENB ducking a barricade at some convention and exploiting "one or two counts of breach of trust for sexual advance" to her advantage like it was just another business transaction.
