If the drift of Canada towards a police state has not yet affected you directly, you would do well to recall the words of Pastor Martin Niemoller, writing in Germany before his arrest in the 1930s: "The Nazis came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I was a Protestant, so I didn't speak up....by that time there was nobody left to speak up for anyone."

Requirements for police to identify themselves?

Sun May 24, 2015 11:58 pm

Are there any particular statutes or regulations regarding police having to identify themseves?

Is there a requirement about badge number and name being displayed?

Is there a requirement for them to carry their warrant card on them?

If, for example, it is dark or their badge number is covered by a jacket, are they required to give their name and badge number if asked?

Thanks

Police officers are required by law to identify themselves. It is a must do.
