Police speak up on random stops
QMI got a couple of cops to defend random stops as important in protecting the populace, with a tone of contempt for ideas like reducing police funding in favour of less antagonistic methods.

I guarantee if the “random” stops happened in upper Outremont, on special-plated vehicles on the Colline parlementaire and in marginal ridings, the government would withdraw the appeals.

Luckily, both the cops and the politicians are united in wanting to randomly stop primarily POC, for some secret not structural racism reason.

We should equip all police cars with a new small green siren light. It’s job is to ensure that all stops are random and therefore it uses GPS and time of day to ensure that they are in fact random. And when it flashes, you have to randomly stop the next car that is to your right and in front of you. You have no choice. You have to do it or the entire system isn’t random. And each time you randomly do a stop, without the green siren, you are required to hit the button, which will self correct the system with future shops… and all of a sudden people in Westmount are going to have to be pulled over, because… it’s random!
