While we are at it, why not have a "Running With Sizzors" Marathon for Blind People in a crowded Shopping Mall?
This ex Cop claims his "Human Rights" are being discriminated against as this is a disability.
Again Human Rights are being put into question, from someone so unclear on the concept on self imposed disability to his penchant for Crack, and an idiot Lawyer who took the case it boggles the mind.
There are so many things wrong with this I am speechless.
Let's hope his lawyer doesn't go Human Rights shopping in British Columbia, cause we all know if he does, this Ex Cop will most likely get his Job Back.
Drug tests for cop?
Crack-addicted officer makes plea to return to Ottawa force
By JON WILLING, SUN MEDIA Thu, June 12, 2008Randomly testing a cocaine-addicted cop for drugs should quell any concerns the Ottawa Police Service has about putting the constable back in uniform, a lawyer argued in front of a three-judge panel yesterday.
"Random drug testing on a weekly basis would clearly catch any fall from grace and that's what protects the public," Kenneth Jull told the divisional court in Ottawa.
His client, Const. Kevin Hall, wants back on the police force after being ordered to resign for stealing crack cocaine from evidence lockups.
Hall pleaded guilty to several charges under the Police Services Act. When he was ordered to resign, he appealed the penalty to the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services, which upheld the dismissal.
Hall is appealing again, and this time he's bringing his fight to court. The police force believes the appeal commission got it right last year when it agreed with Hall's original dismissal order.
"The decision of the commission was reasonable," police force lawyer Robert Houston told the judges.But Jull believes the appeal commission has no expertise in ruling on matters of human rights -- Hall's addiction is considered a disability.
