VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu says his officers are 'disgusted' they had to arrest one of their own today.

Thirty-one-year-old Peter Hodson is a less than five year veteran of the Vancouver Police and is accused of selling pot while on duty and off duty. He also faces three other charges, including two counts of Breach of Trust and break and enter with the intent to commit extortion.

Chu says Hodson has been fired. He adds in all the years he's been a police officer, he can't remember any charges as serious as this being laid against a Vancouver Officer.

I'm personally a huge supporter and nut hugger of VPD but this is just sloppy behaviour and code of conduct by one of its members :cry:

i lol'd, i was just about to post this

So...a cop dealing pot gets arrested but one who shoots a guy in the back of the head doesnt?

Makes sense.

At least he actually got fired and not the usual suspended with pay that alot of officers seem to get when they're caught doing something wrong.

I BET YOU THIS IS JUST A SET UP TO SEND HODSON INTO UNDERCOVER WORK!

cause when embarrassing thing like this happened to the VDP, they would try to cover it and not let it leaked into the public.

they've known about him for some time now

and were actively trying to get the evidence to bring him down, recent events had me assume it wouldnt be long

glad to see they did

taking money from dealers or their pot, isnt uncommon but the way he did it and what he did had even his fellow officers go WTF? can't get into the details but this guy had no right to be called a police officer

Did they catch him on 4/20?

^

LOL.. probably..

haha

The first one of the series was the best imo.

A police officer in Vancouver guilty of crime? Impossible.

That poor family. The mother had to drop her claim because she can't afford to proceed. Watching on the news right now.

You are far over-simplifying a very complex decision made by Ian's mother. Her statement, which includes her full explanation as to why she is dropping the civil suit, can be found here:

There are other aspects that you failed to mention which led to her decision. 1 of which is this:

Nothing we can do will give Ian’s life back to him, so the only thing we truly want is not within our reach.

Proceeding with the civil court case would give us, and Ian, our day in court. The inquest was an exercise in frustration for the family and court would hear more evidence. Individuals who were testifying would be required to answer questions regarding the investigation and be able to support their statements under oath. The civil case was meant to expose the flaws in the current system and I think that has been done.

By now, with all that has taken place over the past four years, we feel that people are aware of our stand on the flaws in the system when police investigate police. There is now a movement towards completely independent investigation of police in cases where there is loss of life or serious harm has been done.

I would be careful what you "report" on these forums, because the stupid kids and/or ignorant adults will use it to further their equally stupid and/or ignorant views.
