B.C. minister calls out police over stayed drug charges
B.C.'s public safety minister says he's outraged at revelations members of Victoria's police department caused the collapse of a major drug prosecution by misleading Crown counsel.
A day after CBC reported that charges had been stayed against three men accused of sitting at the top of B.C's "fentanyl trafficking pyramid," Mike Farnworth told reporters he was as "angry as everybody else when I heard the news about the staying of the charges."
Is that the same Mike Farnworth who nullified Surrey's voting on its police force in favour of a more expensive, less-trained bunch headed by someone failed out of the mounties?
Forgive me if I doubt his intentions or his ability to do more than frown.
